Default Get Careless & this can happen to you!

Moki 1.35, 18X8 APC, 4 months and 9 days ago. Index finger is 3/8" shorter and half the middle one is gone. I was off work for 7 weeks and am still re-learning how to write and type due to major nerve damage to the shortened index finger. Always, ALWAYS have someone holding a larger plane when you flip it by hand. This one went to high throttle as it started. The impact broke the firewall out of the plane and it still had enough energy to throw half of my middle finger 150'. It was too badly damaged to re-attach.
