ugh! ive only been hit once, not that badly. Scar though! no ER, just 2 bandaids. luckly it was a brushed motor, geared to an 11x4.7.
also for multi rotors if you just put them upside down they are not as dangerous. Many have antennas on the top thoughI always turn on my wings with the prop laying in the grass, the motor has no torque at 0 rpm.
I've only been injured once, but a prop explosion was almost an injury... luckly I wore thick clothes!
another reminder to remove the prop when bench testing/setting up rth and rssi.... when it failed rc link it tried to fly home lol. i caught it and ripped the battery off. ouch
Worst part is i even said in my head, i should take the prop off. nah fack it ill be quick.... live to fly another day, wife's pissed lol
