[NSRCA-discussion] Noxville Contest??

[R. LIPRIE]

That's exactly right, when that dang engine is running. Never and I mean never reach from the front of the prop. I haven't got hit the prop yet because I respect that prop. And I know what that prop can do.

  Dennis did what you should never do, reach from the front of the plane, over the prop arc ( so he thought ) to check the switch on the side of the fuse.  Prop caught his arm a few inches below the elbow joint on the top of his arm.  Engine was running at nearly wide open throttle, he is very lucky the damage wasn't worse.  I see it all the time and the same folks are quick to point out all the scars they have from props.  The moment the engine is running you should get behind the prop, period.

        I have an $8000 left thumb. They installed a couple of options while they were rebuilding. It warns of weather changes and also serves as an alarm clock (sometimes).

        I recommended that a student headed for a pro basket ball career give up RC until the career was behind him.

          About two years ago I got my finger in one It cut the right index finger off at the first joint. Wrapped the finger in a towel went to the hospital with the severed finger, three month's and $6000.00 later it was almost as good as new except it is still numb on the end. APC's show no mercy.
