RE: Truth is stranger than fiction in model airplanes
This happened last year to a member of our club (I'll not mention his name as not to embarass him)
He brought a new plane out to the field for it's maiden. After the pre-flight checks and fina check of the control surfaces (I know he checked everything because I watched him do it)
He ligned it up on the runway and took off on a fairly steep climb-out. Next thing you know he's rolling left and right and making it look like it was drunk. He throttled down, made a drunk lap and landed uneventfully.
He taxied back to the pits and **** down. He looked decidedly green. All he said in a calm quiet voice was "The Ailerons aere reversed"
