RE: First flight on rebuild
Campgems,
"Back on the bench and I started checking things out. DUMB DUMB DUMB, I had swapped right and left aileron when I plugged the plane together. I had about 10 up and 10 down giving an aggressive right roll when the stick was neutral. I completely missed that on the preflight. It also pointed out that my linkages were not setup correctly, there shouldn't be much more than a couple clicks different if you swap the servos. Oh yes, I have a flaperons setup, Right aileron on CH1 and left on CH7."
I know the feeling, my dumb and dumber usually come when I am in a hurry. Really tried to slow down this week end but still almost crashed without leaving the ground. I had started my plane and had it set to idle and was moving around to the side to remove the glow starter and hold plane for run up when the neck strap caught on the throttle control and opened it, I got it stopped about 6" from our flight line fence, very lucky. It seems there is always some new challenge, I wonder when we will see them all.
