Default RE: How do you maiden your plane???

Thanks I think.
I always go back over EVERYTHING with another experienced flyer before I maiden. Too many things to miss going over it alone. You can forget little things like screwing in servo arms, Securing clevis linkages, properly connecting ailerons, verifying servos are are traveling right (not reversed), on the right model in the transmitter etc etc etc. Sometimes after you have looked at something 1000 times you cant see the errors. Better to have a fresh set of eyes go over it one last time just to be safe. Nothing worse than taking off and being on the wrong model when using a computer radio.... I know I have done it.
