Re: Parking Problem
Re not touching propellors.
I never touch a propellor if I can avoid it, all that stuff about dodgy earths on mags etc. I think the main reason I don't do it is to tune me into mentally avoiding propellors. If you never walk through the arc and never touch the prop then you have less chance of walking into it when it is spinning. Didn't an instructor run through the arc of a 152 prop a few years ago
I guess stressing the prop is not an issue if you pull it by the root (if you dare). I generally push on the wing root or use the tow bar.
