My instructor taught me to do the leg swing. The way I do the leg swing (with vigor), even if I did fall down I'd fall about 6+ feet away from the prop and a yard to the side. I use the full-safety-protocol swing during the non-contact blade-swings. Ain't got no proof that it's "the right way." But that's the ways they learned me and I like it enough to do it myself after all these years. -- Ed Burkhead East Peoria, Ill. N3802H, 415-D
