cdarza Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Saw this on a post and thought it was a great idea - for those who still smack their heads on the wing. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warmi Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I actually find that for me the biggest problem is the prop or rather me walking into it - whenever I work around the plane I tend to hang towels on each blade to make it into a solid object and thus trigger my subconscious “avoid this” response … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Over the tear I have bumped my head on airplanes in the shop, but it is pretty rare. It most often happens when I am working on or concentrating on something else. I by far am more likely to bump my head at a fly-in or airshow. I don't normally wear a hat except when I am at an event. Wearing a hat makes me more likely to bump my head, because it blocks what I am going to bump from view.

GrassStripFlyBoy Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Surprised nobody has mentioned the doors. When open, I think that forward lower edge has caught me more than any other part of the plane. As Tom mentions, having a hat on and then being low enough to not hit the wing, but not seeing the door underneath it, I've had a couple hard licks on that situation.

cdarza Posted December 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 I had a double whammy last week - I hit the wires on the wing of my ultralight and as i stepped away in pain from that one - walked into the CT wing. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
