The Dangers of Propellers

I was at the rc flying field, trying to my .61 webra speed engine. When the finally ran, it did not run at full speed. If it had, I would not have a right thumb. It cut my right hand when the propeller turned, because I was not looking at the engine. I had to go to the emergency room, and get stitches. I learnt a hard lesson.

It was all my fault,I should have been paying careful attention to the engine. Do not attempt to start a model engine, if you are being distrated. Propellers can be dangerous, if they are not handled properly.

Always be very careful when starting any type of propeller!
