YOU EVER USE A HEAT GUN OR OPEN FLAME IN THE SHOP PICTURED IN YOUR AVATAR.??
Cause that scares the hell out of me.

Wide angle lens makes it seem worse than it is, but I use both. And my cranial software isn't bug free either. That's why there are fire extinguishers mounted around the shop. And why you don't see balsa dust staying around more than a couple of hours, just lots of airframes. So the only fire started (with an arc welder), was put out quickly and easily, with no damage to anything that mattered. If a fire in my shop gets out of hand and heads for Idaho, I'll give you a buzz.

Maybe I am over-reacting since my only serious encounter with a prop was on a electric that fired up unexpectedly. But if I understand how flexible this radio is, it seems too easy for a bit of inadequately planned user programming and inadvertent switch movement to make something bad happen.
