I'm still fairly cautious around these beasts that swing 22" and 24" meat grinders at 7000RPM.

Any comments?
Referring to props as meat grinders do no one any favors...you or 3d pilots...so cut it out!
What's that about?
Calling them "meat grinders" don't do them justice. It pays to be cautious around props, even more so the bigger ones. NOT scared - just cautious.

Nobody's attacking 3D or any other flying, he just asked a question.

I like to stand close in also so I can see and anticipate better what the plane is doing. It's easy to miss small cues when you're too far away, like tuwood mentioned.
