One your controller is way to close to the plane second you keep reaching over the engine and third by a plane stop so you don't have too hold the plane
came close to doing that with my F4F.... managed to chop off my transmitter antenna instead of my fingers... those things are sharper that would be expected in my opinion...
i didn't expect the right finger at all ...i was thinking his left arm right on the elbow joint where the veins are when he was reaching over is where he's gonna be cut as he was doing it 2 or 3 times
no offence to this chap and i really do feel for him but i could see it happening by the way he was slap happy around the prop from the beginning and leaning over it.
dude lol i have the same plane slow tiger mustang lolz it's funny to watch this video cause i did the same thing the other day cut 3 of my fingers now i got like 4 and 5 stiches on each finger plus broken nail. the resion is my buddy let go of the plane tali at full throttle and i was in front.shit that felt num right after but won't stop bleeding.u put ur finger in it dude take your time when working arround the prop it could have been worst and have fun flying cause it;s worth it. cheers
ahaha - i could see this coming.......what are you doing reaching ova the prop like that in the first place?...still you only do this ONCE......umm....right sonny?
was it an APC? those fuckers are sharp as hell. I gashed myself good last year handproppong my saito! the stick slipped, and my palm went right into the back edge of the blade! 19 stitches later.......
ya that's about right! I have no idea why they come so damn sharp, but now ever one I buy I slightly round over the back edge of the blade. I can't even use a foad stick for my saito when it's runnin an APC, I gotta use a custom made pine one!!!
Get a restraint and do not reach around the prop. every one tels me this at my field but i take little notice. I have now. Thanks for the vid it should stop similar accidents. At least u can still count to 10 :)
jesus christ! put the radio on the other side and the flight box. DONT REACH OVER THE PROP! ahhh that was scary man. i thought you were gonna slit your wrist. hope your OK.
You should always put your field box on the same side you're on. That guy could've easily committed suicide right there, that was so close to slashing all of the veins, arteries, and tendons in his wrist!
Oh man, seen that coming... I've always been ULTRA careful and aware around my planes... No lose clothing etc. Thats probably my biggest fear with these things... Besides getting them on the ground in one piece :P But so far so good, haven't lost a plane yet knock on wood.
I lost a plane once. I was doing a upward spiral move when i lost contact with the plane. Turns out I put the wrong batterypack in it so it ran out of power. The damn thing kept going up and up and up in a spiral move until i couldnt see it anymore.
Yes I did. I had a sticker with my contact info on the fuselage. This old guy found it floating in a lake. The fuselage suffered no damage from the crash but the water had corroded everything else.
This is why I like wood props.You can have a brain fart and insert a body part into the spinning prop and get a nice bruise but no cut.Nylon,fiberglass etc. make good knives too.
Ha Ha! Exactly. The AMA is a crock of crap for all Im concerned. It takes all the fun out of RC. Who wants to fly around in circles at a crowded club anyway?
I saw a guy get his hand caught in a prop once,he was old too. It seems that,no matter how long you've been doing this,an accident can occur at any moment.
son of a------ man that had to hurt. Made me ill a lil. Glad to see it though.....lesson for me. Thanks for posting....learned a lot. Did you lose a finger?
Yep, it's called safety. You could have easily hit the prop every time you went down for the transmitter. Had it been a little farther back you could have blead to death in a matter of minutes. Lucky!
Is the prop ok?

I had arterial spurt/ bleeding from an MDS 40, trying to change the needle valve.
Looks like I tried suicide. Cured me of putting my hands/ arms anywhere near spinny things.

You could tell that was a deep wound. Usually, shallow cuts take a while to show blood. This one was red right at the time of injury!
