What prop were you using when it bit you?
I believe it is a 17x10 APC. It's a pumped pipe setup on a 2M pattern aircraft. It started backwards and acted like it died, so I stuck my hand back in there (like an idiot). At that moment it promptly reversed direction and fired up. [:@]

Pics?? Nah, I think we all know what a nasty prop bite looks like. Suffice it to say that there's a big chunk missing on my baby and ring fingers. []
