Learning a Lesson in RC Airplane Safety

[BuclkeNutz]

Shit, I've had more than that knocked of the end of my pecker ...

[roosterinboro]

Root cause of this accident was haste and rushing to accomplish the task.

[SuperPianowizard]

adleast use a chicken stick :O

[lflgilf]

3 things here.

1: Stress

2: Not respecting the prop. You know what I`m talking about. Start with the finger?

3: Wrong handling of the plane.

Good thing it wasn`t a bigger engine.

[pixeldixelshizel]

@lflgilf good thing it was not a high kv electric motor!

[lflgilf]

@pixeldixelshizel

That would be nasty!!!!

[takeit69]

Must be a vampire!

[takeit69]

Btw all the licking it or sucking on it wont stop it from bleeding

[takeit69]

Ya know they make a thing call "Electric starters" maybe you heard of them?

Oh wait probally not..

[MP3tilaco]

La sacó barata, se notaba muy imprudente y poco concentrado en lo que hacía.

Lo rpimero que hay que hacer cuando estas con un modelo RC es estar 100% pendiente del modelo.

Never ever start a engine with ur bare hands,its just stupid and so dangerous as uve proved buddy. Use a chicken stick or a rubber finger protector!

[workers99]

He didn't cut his hand by starting it. He stuck his hand in it when it was running. A chicken stick wouldn't of really helped. Most accidents i've seen similar to this happen when the engine has already started...i.e taking the glow off or tuning it...not starting.

All hell, shit happens. Looked like a good group of guys to fly with.

[SiTrex600]

Idiot, he is lucky his finger is still there.

[crazyRCplane]

Go teabag

[gijs01061993]

dont hurry take your time to do things around the propeller

[PERIZ99]

He just had that coming....

[rcm2pqrtv]

lesson learned

[Sessholvlaru]

Completely careless.

[Wingburner]

A powerful brushless electric motor will take your fingers off too ! Especially so when the throttle stick is the "on" "off" switch. Never muck around with the glow plug still attached and didn't they know about electric starters ???

[airforceonedown]

electric is the only way to go

[phatgonk]

ouch,Im bound to do this one day(

[smidge146]

That was horrible!

[hiddenasskiker]

thats why i use electric planes + you only keep the body of the plane on the same side as your own bodie then this wont happen

[Shadowdncer]

That is why all the manuals tell you to never lean over the prop, never pass over it to adjust stuff, and generally keep all your body on one side of it.

[joeyjojojjjjjj]

Electric is the way to go! looks like it hurt

[jstntmcdrmtt]

always give a propeller the respect it deserves, I thought he was goin to cut his nose off the way he was bento over it at the beginning...

[tallguysd]

This is why I fly Electric planes!
