Default RE: OK newbs, Learn a quick stupid bit of advice from me.

I almost lost three fingers in my early R/C.
I had one of those stupid pull start engine, and it yank my hand back becuase it say you shouldn''t pull it too
hard becuase the string might break. Kind of like it fired backwards.

I thought i saw bones...white meat .lol
Of course I grab the nearest towl that was set under the muffuler to prevent oil marks on my patio . It was soak with nitro.[:@]

It bleed for a good while, but the pain was mostly my bones getting wack really really hard.
I wouldn''t use my hand for a couple of weeks....and it was my wipping hand.lmao

Have been very, very carful with props from that moment thou.
