Your timing couldn’t have been better just tried it on my DA 120 and it is awesome! I am very pleased with the purchase and would probably always own one

I have had incredible response since opening and want to thank everyone for all the kind words and of course all the orders. This is a great RC tool and I am sure everyone that uses it will be pleased with it.

If you would like to read some of the posts, here are a couple of threads where the action took place....

I think you have one of each color RCS, am I right?...and I think even two of some.

Did you see my add in this months Model Aviation ?
I toned it down a little from the last one. Still gets the point across.

Just purchased and used the RCS. All I have to say is WOW! this thing is a great product.
I had assumed what I was purchasing was the peace of mind that comes with putting a inanimate object between a spinning blade and my tender, vulnerable, pain sensing digits.
While the RCS did deliver on that front, it also seemed to add a significant amount of leverage. This made flipping the prop much easier, and getting the engine started was not just smooth but enjoyable.
The RCS is a fantastic tool, definitely worth the minuscule cost.
Thanks Richard!


This is an unpaid opinion from a new customer. :P

Kind of like I say in the video...

Thank you very much for your post. I sincerely appreciate it.

Stay safe my friend and thanks again.

Yes to all, keep up the good work, on a bad note, saw a really bad prop strike, very bad, the stick would have prevented that injury

Sad to hear that Frank. I wish he would have gotten a Stick before that happened. Give him one of yours, he'll probably take it now.

Thanks Frank, keep up the good work.

A friend of mine is going into surgery today for that very reason, it shredded his glove and tore up his hand.

Be safe folks.

It kills me to hear this.. Its so preventable...if you dont want to get a RCS then use a screw driver or a piece of broom stick...whatever, just dont hand prop these meat cutters!! We want this to be a safe hobby.
We had the same thing happen at our field this year. Blood everywhere and me standing 50 feet away with a bunch of RCS.
I actually had one person write and say..."What risk!...just keep your hands out of the way and there is not a problem".
Dont risk it guys, its seriously not worth it!

Thanks for your post. We have to convince BEFORE the blood flows.

Richard

The hand may be quicker than the eye, but the prop is quicker than the hand!

There's you a slogan I just made up. Free in exchange for the sample you sent me a while ago!

Hope your using the RCS. Dont want to hear about your ER trip someday!
