ORIGINAL: Korps

I went out today for some taxi runs with my Edge - just checking that the engine is running okay etc. Was too windy to take up the Edge - I flew my Stryker rather.

A question I have since we have the prop topic going here. I always used Evolution Props. I got an APC prop now (a grey one) - this thing has some serious sharp edges!!! I cut my hand when priming. I use a chicken stick so there is not a problem when turning the engine. But when priming, holding the carb closed with my finger and turning the prop - there is not a lot of space between the prop and the hole in the cowl where I need to place my finger to close the carb. So everytime I turn the prop it connects with my hand and even with almost no force it slices the skin. Has anyone else got an idea on how to close the carb in another way - using something else. Or is this going to be my future?
