I've always been a "cono-sewer" of pre-flight checks. And it can happen to anyone. A month ago, I was at the field with 3 models.
Upon switching planes, did the usual pre-flight check of servo linkages etc. Launched my Sig Kougar and noticed that it needed some
right aileron trim. Flew the tank and landed. Only to find out that the selected model on my Futaba 9C was a Great Planes U Can Do.
So, I flew the Kougar on the U Can Do's settings. Boy was I lucky!!

Hence It's all in your name Dave ("Lucky"Armpit)
You guys took all the luck, A few in my club fool around with combat planes and so far twice the elastics on my Dogfighter Spad decided they wanted no part of my flying and bailed out 100 feet up and turned the fuse into a lawn dart and both times it landed within 15 feet of the last lawn darting and amazingly the darn thing survived and the only fix is the second time it stripped the throttle servo and that was it OK I guess I have good luck with my bad luck..... 8 elastics from the same bag the other guys used....... [X(] I guess I better calm down on my flying HUH
