If you are going to quote, QUOTE, or better still, stay off the dope, you dope.

2 things:
Does anyone know if the young lady expressed concern about posing for the picture? - ie: had she been taught correctly about prop dangers in the first place?.....and
She appears to be anjoying herself, and surely that is what the ATC is all about?
I won't mention that she looks quite attractive, as that will obviously bring a torrent of abuse from the PC brigade and calls for immediate imprisonment!
PS. I once got some quite strange looks after mentioning I had dope on my fingers - are there any aeromodellers left?

Ah the wonderfull smell of dope and banana oil......pin the wings down so as not to warp them, spray the tissue with water to tighten it up.....dope it a few times in an enclosed space (much more fun) and the apply banana oil to waterproof it.
Then apply too many turns to the rubber and collapse the blasted fuselage....and back to the building board, thank god for lithium battery's, brushless motors and micro servo's.

Probably one of those brain fart moments like I had at the age of 15 when for some daft reason I tried to pinch starve the fuel tube (coming from the rear) but putting my fingers in from the front.....whilst the PAW was running. Dumb dumb dumb. Two very nice scars on my fingers, and a very embarred look around the pits in case anyone saw me.

I found the easiest way to stop the engine was:
1. Carefully place a finger over the carb intake - rather risky.
2. Throw a tea towel at the prop. Much safer - except for the tea towel!
Needless to say, one's mother did wonder who/what had bitten such a huge gash in the tea towel.....
