I have been in the hobby 25 years and I always respected the opportunity for real physical damage. Last night I got careless and made a rookie mistake. I was upgrading the landing gear on my new FL P-38 and I had it powered up because I was having issues with the front gear. I had my transmitter under the wing and I was reaching to switch the gear up and down. This wouldn't normally be an issue but like a dip sh*t, I didn't remove the propellers. After several gear cycles, I bumped the throttle and the props chewed me up and got me a visit to the ER for stitches.
I know better. I didn't make a conscience decision to cut corners. I made no decision which was stupid and could have had worse results.
