You're typically flipping a gasser over by hand - you don't want it to start until you're ready. It's pretty easy for Mr Prop to come around and Meet Mr Hand
It's a little different subject, but I found my 26cc gasser has much less "bite" (I don't feel any bite) than my glow .90. I attribute it to the electronic ignition. Of course I flip as fast as I can. I'm thinking of measuring the delay of the spark from the trailing edge of the timing pulse, although now it's a low priority since I don't have an immediate problem.
To be honest - I've been "bit"by most of them - and the only plane I live in fear of is my electric 1/12 Corsair. That 12x8E went clean down to the tendons on my forearm.
