Me vs Propeller... ~!@#$%
I was advised that once the engine is mounted on the back of the airplane, it becomes back heavy and can easily tip back regardless of the weight in the front. As a precaution, one should place the propeller horizontal in case it does tip, not to damage the propeller. But be careful when you are working around the engine! The tip of the propeller almost becomes invisible when approached from the sides… especially if you are looking down or just not paying attention. Well, my turn has arrived...while looking down as I walked towards the back of the plane The result was that I walked right into the stationary propeller suffering a gash by my eyebrow very close to the eye.
@#$%! @#$% @#$% Translated: OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!
After a quick trip to Urgent Care, the doctor said that I do not need stitches (although I questioned him about that) and gave me a tetanus shot in return. So now, not only does my forehead hurts, but my arm hurts as well.
And
after scraping my shoulder many times bumping into the propeller, this was the
last straw. The next day, I decided enough is enough and did something about it
to make the tips more visible by putting gloves on them. A simple fix…
hopefully it will help!
