Always amazed me how people can do something like this. especially an experienced pilot. I have done some pretty dumb things occasionally=2C but only once. I am extremely allergic to airplane propellers as I am sharks so I tend to steer clear. I am not afraid to hand prop an airplane=2C but I am paranoid enough to keep me safe. Hopefully. I had to hand prop a 220hp engine from behind on floats once. I had left the master on. Notice I said once. I've never left the master on again. Sometimes I think we have to be scared enough to make an impression. Sometimes some of us don't get scared enough. Just my thoughts.Doug DeverIn beautiful Stow Ohio
