well today was the first day with a plane ever. I decided I didnt need a chicken stick, so I used my fingers. Walked away with 2 bloddy fingers. I was wrong.

I always remember my dad starting his "COX" planes with his fingeres so i fugured it was ok. but I was wrong. ESPECIALLY on a cold , new engine with tons of pinch. I actually got it stuck a TDC to the point I had to heat the engine and use a bunch of after run oil. I was spinning the prop on the rod.. Leasson learned!. I have been using a rubber handled scredriver.
