Default RE: Propeller Safety

Yes glow fuel is a good anteseptic, until you can get to a hospital! Don't use a field rag(full of nasty stuff), use a clean handkerchief. We have a well stocked first aid kit at the field. Since several of us often fly alone, we've posted the 911 field address facing the flight line. Carry a cell phone in you're pocket and call 911 immediately. A coulple of years ago there was a well published incident where a modeler flying alone passed out due to blood loss and eventually died. A sister field of ours recently had to call Care Flight for a badly "wounded" modeler. The wind caught a hand launched electric a it flew back into his face. Don't waste time, call for help!
