Funny that you should mention that. Last weekend I was getting ready to maiden flight a plane that I am doing a review on. I had a buddy standing beside me and I handed him the radio to check everything with a second pair of eyes. He pulled back the stick and the elevators moved down!! [X(] yep, had them reversed.

The problem that us poor weak humans have is the more times we look at something the less likely we are to catch a problem. You mind just breezes right over it thinking it's ok, and then the problems is missed from then on. But a fresh pair of eyes will catch the problem in a heartbeat. That's why I ALWAYS have somebody else look at my control surfaces before I fly a new plane, just to double check myself. I've learned a long time ago it's better to ask for help than to bring a plane home in a hefty bag!!
