Default Bonehead Building Blunders

I have built probably a dozen or more R/C airplanes in my 20+ yrs in the hobby. Found an older kit recently at one of the few hobby shops left, an Astro Flight inc. Astro Sport. (Anyone ever had one? Never heard of it - 36" high wing)

It should go together easy enough, wood was all acceptable, instructions OK. I had recently re-kitted (crashed) my go-to plane, and had a 90" kit mostly done on the bench. So I cleared it away to build the little Astro Sport. It should have been a straightforward, reasonably quick build...

Guess I had a couple too many brewskis one evening. That plus being in a hurry to slap it together, and watching the military channel.
After work the next day I unpin the wing from the old building board to examine my handiwork. Frazzleshaggit#%* if I had not glued the leading edge on UPSIDE DOWN ! Took two and a half dadblasted evenings to correct.


Anyone else care to share your blunders?
