Sadly, we lost one of our local builders (not KR related) here last night. This gentleman lives only a couple miles from where I work. He was testing running his engine in his back yard yesterday evening when he was struck by the prop causing fatal injuries. Please use extreme caution when working around a live engine. I know a lot of you cautioned me when you viewed the photo of be only inches behind my turning prop but believe me the plane was well secured and I have had many hours working around live engines. So, please be cautious and be safe.
