I think it hurts more to crash. Yeah I'd rather take the hit, nothing a little super glue can't fix.
Just a couple cuts that required Super Glue

Looks gnarly.
Is there a story?
Lessons learned?
I hope the super glue did it's job

Prop strike? Bold sleeves. What are they?
So did you use thin CA from Hobbyking?
This just goes to show that Sith lords bleed too.

Dude, you owe me a new keyboard to replace the one I just threw up on. And some air freshener.

Two separate days in the same week. I've been working on a H-Copter project and caught the copter before it smashed into the house once and a tree. Didn't want to start over. I live in the mountains and have to order props so breaking or cracking a prop was not an option. The second time I knew it wouldn't hurt but I was hoping to reach under the blade but as you can see I didn't quite achieve my hopes.

No CA lol. I paper toweled and duct taped it and headed for the dollar tree for the super glue.

lol. No CA, super glue. I wonder if CA would work. At least I'm smart enough not to have tried the hot glue gun.

Sorry about that, I'll get you a purse too when I send that keyboard. lol

Stiches are old school. The docs started using superglue on facial lacerations when I was in the Navy so I figured why even go through the additional pain of stitches. Plus my health insurance is non existent.
Are you a Vietnam veteran? Respect!
Story
But remember that there are different CA -only use "odorless" variant. I think than it is the same as the "foamsafe".
Yea a nurse friend of ours glued a few gaps in the forehead on our kid, turned out pretty... how should I put it... un-optimal, cosmetically. I guess they'd done the same in the ER (where the friend works anyways). But stitches are old school only in the sense that they're time consuming; the results are much better when done with skill.
Too bad about your non-existent insurance. (I thought that was fixed by the current administration, but as I see the can of worms here just regard me as being an ignorant foreigner.)

Thanks for the tip. No not a Vietnam vet, that's my dad. I'm a Desert Storm - Operation Iraqi Freedom Vet. I was a Diesel Engineer on 3 different ships. USS Paul F. Foster (DD964), USS Lake Champlain (CG57), USS Rushmore (LSD47). Never closer than a mile from Iraq. We did drop off a whole bunch of Marines and picked up less than we dropped off. Respect should go to them not me. But thank you for the gesture.

I was on the USS sanjacinto CG56 back then. (GSE1SW)
I get my stitches out today from a sever beating from a 8*4 prop when the motor pulled off its mount.

Just be aware, yes they use CA to close wounds, but make sure you know your wound. I know a guy whose 4 stroke through the prop and it hit him in his abdomen. He looked at the apparently 1/4 to 3/8 inch cut, laughed and grabbed the super glue and glued it tight. In 2 hours, with a swollen abdomen because of the knicked vessel inside finding everyplace except the correct space for his blood to pool, he got rushed to the hospital where they cut him wide open, fixed the leak, gave him a transfusion or plasma I really don't know which, and then proceeded not only to sew up their entry path but to cut around his hack job and stitch that mess together.
Doesn't look from your photo like you knicked any tendons or anything else, but be careful and don't cause more problems then what you already have by accident. Remember, right after a major wound is not the best time for you to make important decisions.
Don't like to sound hypocritical on this though. I handle a whole bunch of paper each day. I don't presently have a paper cut that has superglue on it, but I usually do. Man I hate papercut.
