Imagine starting a 60 size plane on the ground. You are a bit tired, the engine has been giving you trouble, your grip on the fuselage/wing is less than perfect, you don't notice the throttle is wide open. You hit it with the starter. The outcome can be awful. This will never happen to you, right? The safety stand automatically can prevent this accident. If you must personally experience this accident before you believe it can happen to you, well good luck. Our club has ten of these stands. I enjoyed redesigning the Merkon stand. Our design can be downloaded from our website at http://www.wilsonrc.org. I started engines off the ground for many years and always saw a danger. First time I saw these safety stands I knew that was a safer/better way. There is still a danger, though. Gives others a chance to argue.
