The engine was already running. I was tuning/testing. had the plane tied back by a rope tied to a tree. The rope apparently had been nitro soaked and was weakend. I was sitting in front of the A/C, and the rope snapped. it began to roll at me. Instinctively/thankfully I put my hand out to stop it, rather than get hit in the gut by it, thus the hand injury.
As for healing, it is going well. I had to have a microsurgery on it to reattach tendons veins etc etc, and am currently in physical therapy for it, but all is going well so far!
Sol
dam!!
now it sounds like you are one lucky sob!!
i don't own anything that big....yet.....but when i'm working on any of my planes, regardless of how i tie it down, i can't make myself sit down....i kneel or squat.....but i want to be able to move quick.
i did catch my fingers in a prop on my twinstar once....i almost always start the right(as your facing the plane) engine first, but for some reason had started the left one first this time. reached to grtab the fuselage...stuck my 2 little fingers right in the prop.
very unique noise......4 people were at me with towels, and first aid kit before i could shut it down.
glad you're healing ok dude!!
