Default RE: Prop Bitten

Great thread!! These posts are certainly a reminder as what can happen when you don't pay attention. I was complacent and stupid and you can see the results below. I won't bore you with all of the details, but the picture below shows the prop after contact with my right hand. The prop is exactly as it looked after my incident. Thank GOD it was a wood prop! If it was a carbon fiber prop it would have completely taken off 3 fingers.[] I keep it on my trailer door as a reminder to myself and anyone who sees it. FYI - my fingers are back to 95% normal usage. I will never use a carbon fiber prop again and I'm really careful anytime I'm around an APC prop on smaller models.
