Default RE: Learn to Fly without an instructor

That, and 30% of the first time fliers that come to our field have a control surface reversed. Ailerons most often, elevetor and rudder occasionally.

Really short first flights with that situation.

We mandate an inspection before it gets to the instructor (if there are enough members hanging out) so they usually have multiple pre-flight checks.
