I am forced to fly alone sometimes. Been flying since 1972. Have had many cuts, mostly minor. The most dangerouse for me has been starting a glow fuel engine and not noticing the throttle was wide open. Usually this occures when I am distracted because of other things, such as starting problems, other people talking, etc. Our club now has 10 Engine-Safety Starting Stands. Twice already the engine has been at full throttle when started on these stands. Other than the wet underwear there was no problem. Here is a photo of our new design for the stand. Plans for it can be downloaded from the DOWNLOAD section of our website at http://www.wilsonrc.org/news.php
