Default RE: Flip Starting

Hi Guys,

Check the Propeller Manufacturer Warnings - that is "out of law" for many propellers because of the
hidden cracks caused ...

Well I have done it many times but once the blade of the propeller broke out after testing the full rpm
and nailed itsef into the tent nearby - it just went as knife there and it was from APC propeller 13x8 ...
on OS.91FX at 13000 rpm. Surely I do not believe it can kill person but it can take an eye out forever ...

Better stick to the starter who is propeller friendly ... isn't it, although I know the feeling of just flip it ....

Cheers,
Nick
