Yes the accidents could have been a lot worse, at least we both still have 5 fingers! My accident has not deterred me from continuing to learn to fly RC, but as I have outlined on previous posts I will be taking every precaution to make sure this was my one and only serious prop mishap. Accidents happen, a moments inattention or focusing upon something else and then that sound when your fingers are getting chewed up by the propeller is so VERY distinctive, such a unique sound. I won't ever forget that sound, a sound I never want to hear again!

Although it summer here in the Southern Hemisphere and hot, it has also been windy where I live, limiting flying days somewhat. Still the best part of summer is still to come in late January, February and March.(Fingers are crossed anyway!!)

Cheers
