Very good points!! I always go over everything twice, like all the little screws and misc. before a maiden..after it lands (hopefully under full control) I'll pull the wing off and go over everything again!!!! I'm sure it sounds like overkill...but I put far too much time (and money) to risk a crash on something I could have prevented!! I figure I have a hard enough time keeping them in the air with my thumbs I really don't need an extra challenge of trying to fly with something loose or falling off!!lol
