ok guys im gonna share my stooooopidity !! with you ! so maybe somebody else can benefit
After putting a new ring in my RCGF 32 i installed the engine back in my RC GUYs Decathalon took the fuse outside and fueled it up to run it in for a bit .
i tethered the pane and primed up the engine
Well i guess while i was fartin around with it i put some slack in the tether
Plane tarted and i had the throttle open a bit so the plane lunged a few inches my instinct was to grab the fuse with my left hand as i was going thru the motions my brain said bad idea but hand said to late !
took the corner of my thumb and part of the nail with it then wacked my hand by my wrist a few times
Stalled the motor !
Broke the master Airscrew 18 in prop F$$#K
well i ran around for a bit looked at the thumb said a bunch of four letter words and freaked out my wife and granddaughter that were watching me in the window
my hand turned all kinds of purple and as feeling came back to my thumb i can feel every heartbeat in the nice ragged tip .
I had to pump out the gas with one hand fuel dots are hard to get out with one hand !
i had the wife help me carry plane back to the basement hanger .
I then called a buddy that had some oxy or crap like that from a surgery wow they work 1
still leaking hydraulic oil from my thumb as i type !
Work should be awesome in the am come to think of it so should sleep tonight

here are some pics so if you are grossed out beware
time for a beer 1
