<DIV>I fear electrics may prove to be more dangerous than glow --</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Most of us have habit patterns solidified by years around glow
engines </DIV>
<DIV>when a stopped prop was equal to safe. Un-learning those
habits is</DIV>
<DIV>not a quick and sure process.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How we know if a plane in pit or staging area is safe?
Some electrics have</DIV>
<DIV>an outward appearances that indicates it's safe (exposed batt
connections, etc)</DIV>
<DIV>but many don't.</DIV>

<falcondoc@sbcglobal.net> <BR>Electrics IMHO are way more dangerous
than IC engines. I have a $35,000 right arm to prove it. Had one
spontaneously start on me at the field while my forearm was in the
way. Chewed through my forearm clear to the bone, severing my artery,
muscle, and ulnar nerve. Very messy. Took 2 years of surgury and therapy
before I could fly again. Electric motors are more serious in that they draw
more amps if they are impeded, in effect they try "harder" to overcome the
force opposing it, like thumbs, fingers, and arms. Still fly electrics, but
treat them very differently now......<BR><BR><B><I>wgalligan

<DIV>I have seen a few electrics majicaly start unattended and
thankfully no fingers or arms were in the way. Both engines and
motors are dangerous.</DIV>

while they were rebuilding. It warns of weather changes and also
serves as an alarm clock (sometimes).</DIV>

<DIV>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.</DIV>
