Default RE: Lanier Ripper, didn't like the first day of spring.

Well.. yeah that would have been my first option on checking the ailerons being reversed . Also what i check for during preflight. So they were traveling in the right direction. On rolling left: left aileron goes up and right aileron goes down.
I have noticed after the crash that the, on the side the aileron goes up, it doesn't go up as far as it goes down. Will that be a problem?

As for 1Jimbo saying that i dont have enough power. This is an Open A class combat plane, running OS .15 cva, spinning as MAS 7X4 prop. Plane weighs exactly 2.5 lbs with empty tank. Dont know how that can be.
Do you think i need a little more alerion reflex?
