For the past 50 plus years, I have flown many aircraft that require hand propping for an engine start. Aircraft propellers are a little bit larger than the ones on this drone. No matter the size of the prop one has to always be careful and think about safety.

Thanks for the video Don! As it is only a four motor drone, I would assume it still has some limited ability for control if one engine is lost?
