Default RE: how often do you crash on your maidens?

Funny you should ask. I just had my first one a couple weeks ago. Until now I've been very lucky in that I have allways maidened my own planes wth great results. But this time I had my ailerons switched & didn't catch it in the range check. Stupid, stupid, stupid!!! Luckily I rolled it left just after take off which my ailerons read as roll it right & I dumped it right there about 3 ft off the ground. 5 min. & a little thin CA & activator & we were back in one piece. Then took it home to strengthen it back up right with a few thin coats of epoxy. She's good as new again now.[sm=71_71.gif]
