RE: Prop Safety
Noone has mentioned a couple of safety things that are really worth doing.
One thing that creates an additional hazard with props are the wires from a starter panel on a flight box that run to your electric starter and glowplug igniter. If you use both devices from one location, one of the lines is going to have to be routed around the prop. Not good.
Those lines require watching over to insure they don't tangle in the prop. No big deal if they get cut, but they're more apt to blow the prop. They have you watching out for them when you've got enough to do keeping yourself out of the prop. And some guys wind up placing the box in line with the spinning prop. And wind up with a box that's so close to the airplane that it's gotta be moved away while the airplane is running. I've seen a pantleg cut while the flyer was concentrating on putting up the glow starter and engine starter and box. Solve all those problems easily.
Setup your starter on a battery of it's own. Use the selfcontained glowstarters. Get rid of the wire things.
You not only have a safer operating environment, but you gain a great deal of flexibility. You can place your flight box out of the way to begin with. Anywhere you want. And you can start your airplane anywhere. When only a couple of us are flying the "portable" starter saves lots of taxiing. Many a time have we restarted a flameout where it was.
Get rid of those two wires. You'll be safer for it.
