1. If you have no experience - get someone with experience to help you - and PAYATTENTION to what they say!!!
2. Safety is no 1! In other words - yes watch out for the prop.

and lose clothing.
and other things that the prop can swallow. We start from the ground so we have sails on which we put our planes and stuff - to minimize the dirt on your things and also that we don't spill fuel etc on the ground. It also makes it easier to find a small screw or something if you drop it by accident. BUT I have had my prop suck up the front piece of the sail! That was scary - and guess what - everyone else thought it was funny :P
