Sorry to hear that Allan has had this happen. May be it is time for all of us to realize that we need to come up with a protection device for when we are working on a spining prop motor. Put on your thinking caps and see what we come up with, Des Garvin

dear allandont worry mate they grow back,Ive cut two off and from a distance you couldnt tell!Up close however, one looks like a broken carrot! Not much good for picking ones nose, but a middle finger wasnt designed for such intricate work!Mark.
