In an RC plane, there is only one major moving part and that is the spinning propeller. Believe it or not, somehow or the other, just in case any of your body part was caught in it while it is spinning, it will always be hurtful. Just how much damage it could cause would largely depend on how heavy the blades are, how sharp its edges, how fast it is spinning and how powerful its motors within. A small one can barely scratch while a big one could truly kill somebody and so, it is important that one must do something in order to minimize the risk especially if they work near the plane.
One way of doing this is to paint the tip of the RC plane propeller with any visible bright color in order that you have in some way a means of knowing where the ends are while it is spinning. In reality, it is really difficult to distinguish the safety zone when it is spinning so rapidly because you can’t really see it as it blends with its surroundings. You are not limited to paint, and if you want you can also affix a glowing LED on it since lights are much easier to notice and are useful in a low light environments.
And when the RC plane was still on ground and you are planning on starting it up, make sure that you use a chock on its wheels so that it wouldn’t move forward unnecessarily and once you are sure that everything on its path is okay then you can let it go and fly away.
