Wow! That's the most Dave I've ever seen. Laughing

I have one for you.

I got into the whole R/C plane thing and spent over $1K on the crap. The engine I bought had a new thing (at the time) called a remote needle valve. Instead of having to adjust the carb mixture at the carb which is directly behind the prop, the valve was moved to the back with a piece of tubing going to the carb.

Anyway, I had it on the test stand to break it in and had it at about half-throttle. I had it facing me on the bench I had it mounted to, so I reached THROUGH the prop to adjust the remote valve at the back of the engine.

I ended up with my index and middle finger tips sliced to the bone.

I guess remote needle valves don't work for idiots...
