Default Safty Warning!

whenever I start my planes I have something preventing it from going forward. either its tied down (via a tiedown strap and tent spike) or my field box in front of it so it will strike that first. I will admit that those spinny things on the front of these "toys" dont scare me at all, but I have ALL the respect in the world for them and what they can do.

before every start i do I do a quick mental checklist and look around the prop arc to make sure its clear. it only takes a second but im sure its saved me in the past (like noticing your TX strap is hanging about 3" from the prop off your neck )

please everyone, keep safe.
