It would be a bit difficult proping a seaplane from the front, so I
guess it's not a bad idea to stand behind the prop on the float;
however, for a land plane, (unless you do something bizarre like I did)

Like whut? Curious minds want to know.



proping from the front is safe (if you are taught how to be out of the
way when the engine catches). - Mike


I'll prop from the front if propping from behind is inconvenient, and the
aircraft has a suitable person at the controls, or is tied down.
