RE: another preventable crash
Guilty as charged. Ilost a 60 size U-Can-Do on it's first flight a little over a year back. Reversed ailerons. Iabout lost a Twist 150 on it's first flight shortly after the U-Can-Do screwup,due to excess aileron throws.
Another common screwup is to have the fuel pickup and vent linesswapped.I caught that one Thursday before flying. Ihadn't flown the plane a while and I usually use a red or orange vent line and green or blue pickup line. For some reason I had them swapped and had forgotten it.
