RE: OK newbs, Learn a quick stupid bit of advice from me.
There are very few RC pilots that do not have a cut finger story as the result of a prop hit. The issue that I have with your accident was that you did not quit trying to make your engine run without first taking care of your fingers. The engines that we use contain all sorts of crud that cause infection and if you have cuts that need stitches and or attention to clean up any cut's, you need to get them taken care off as soon as possible. This is a wonderful hobby, however your safety and well being must be first and the airplane second. I do hope that you have a complete recovery and Good Luck, Dave
