Default RE: This never happened at a meeting before

ORIGINAL: w8ye

It was a 3.2 c.i. gasser with a 22" prop that apparently came loose from the restraint at start up.

It is in post 83 of this thread http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_47..._4/key_/tm.htm

There are many other pictures of fingers/hands and reports of problems in that long thread

its funny..... an accident like that could have happened to me this past weekend...... i was talking to a buddy standing in front of my plane ,i flipped the prop as if i was gonna start it (24x8) and it turned on at idle.... it rolled toward me and struck my shirt, and i hit the switch....and thankfully no one got hurt i must have forgotten to turn the ign off
