so with nothing to do here in tennessee...i return back to my roots with rc airplanes.....so i found an ad about a guy selling all his stuff......call him up, arrange to meet on a Wednesday (being tuesday today)......he says he'll clean it up and charge it.....i get out of school early today so i call back and asked if he can get it ready today....dude was nice and gathers all his stuff......i m down the street and i call his cell.......a lady picks up (most likely his wife)...."im sorry but he's not gonna be able to meet you"...so after driving 20 miles they tell me to go back.....WTF!!!...so i ask where he is.....turns out....the were on the way to the hospital...for those who know....theres a spinning propeller that u dont mess with....in summary... "he just passed out from getting his fingers cut off....and we are on the way to the hospital" OUCH....that sucks...im feeling bad now...the only reason he did it was for me to check it out....so sad....i could only imagine how much hospital bills gonna be...even worst...dealing with the accident also.....moral of the story...BE CAREFUL...

OK UPDATE TIME..for those who are following.........
the gentleman just called and got out of the hospital today....total loss---> 3 fingers......sewed back...but most likely permanent lost of function...
apparently...the plane doesnt usually start on first turn.....well..it did!!! and the worst part...he had it at full throttle....nothing more to say to that.....
although the damage has been done...i do hope things get better for him....
