Have you ever been bit by your plane and injured? Learned something new about safety around a plane? Share your experiance and what you've learned about safety.
After inserting the bind plug into the reciever of my GP Pluma equiped with a Rimfire 370 outrunner motor, I held on to the wing leading edge firmly and moved the throttle ever so slightly. It came to life much quicker than I antisipated, the plane made a sharp turn around the point I was holding and bit me on the fore arm tossing blood quite a distance. Also, it took a nose dive ripping the motor and mount off of the plane.
After seeing the doctor and 4 stitches later, I realized that it would have been much safer and wiser to have another person hold the plane, than by myself. If I would have thought a little bit about what I was doing and not have been in such a rush, everything would have turned out safer. :black_eyed:
