Default Get Careless & this can happen to you!

where were you guys 5 1/2 weeks ago when I put the palm of my hand thru an APC 15-6. 1 cut thumb tendon, 2 cut little finger tendons lots of cut muscle and scattered nerve damage. The doctor said he quit counting stitches after triple digits. In PT now and slowly coming back, wounds look extremely good, but getting the tendons pulled thru the scar tissue is a real bit*ch. Paint the tips of your props, My saito 100 backfired and reversed itself right after starting, sputtered backfired and reversed again coming right at me while i was still on the ground I just reached out trying to protect myself and the plane I could not see the exact location of the spinning tips, It happened so fast you dont have time to think. I am going to purchase kevlar gloves and use them religiously while starting and tuning from now on
