I like the others am sorry this happened also.

I am only 9 months into the hobby and at the end of my 4th month I was doing my first engine break in at the field on my newly purchased (second plane) "WM super stunts 60". I thought I knew what I was doing so I did not even bother asking for help. I tied the plane down and went to kick the engine over after all test were done, well to my surprise the engine kicked off on the first try sending me into a panic, *wondered if the needle was set right* so here I go at 1/3 throttle I reached for the valve from in front of the plane forgetting everything I was tought by my instructor's

The prop was a 12X8 spinning so fast I thought I had it cleared *was used to my little 10X6* and the tip of the prop tore me up

Lucky for me it was on a Sunday and the field was full of members that all came to my aid. I got a ride to the ER at one of the local hospitals and received 30 total stitches with laceration's including nerve damage on all fingers on my right hand.

What hurt most out of the whole ordeal were the locals the nurse gave me straight into the wounds, Man did that hurt.
