RE: Prop Bitten
I found this thread just by chance and I think it should be the first main heading on every forum.To many people think these motors are just toys,and a lot of people new to the sport just have no idea of the power these small motors have.And the prop is just like a rotating knife,or you might look at it like a up-side down lawn mower.And to those who are offended by the not pretty to look at pictures,you are probbly an accident just waiting to happen.I am sure beyond any doubt this may help save someone from getting hurt.Also you might take note that a lot of these accidents were not from new beginners at this sport.There is a difference between fear and respect.The goal is to always learn from someone else's misstake.I fly fuel planes but I never thought about the electric models until I read some of the threads here.Gas planes you don't worry about them until you put the heater on the glow plug and start them up.I have not been involved with the electric planes.This has been a learning experience for me and I have been playing with airplanes for more than 40 years.Thanks to all of you who have shared there storys with us.
