I agree with checklst, I was taught to do a ground check on every flight. Not just looking at the aelerons for movement, but the right movement. Checking the rudder, elevator, and even throttle for proper movement and neutral setting. The only time I missed one, I had the rudder misaligned, but was able to get the plane back after doing some inflight trimming. I learned not to ever do a half check, do everything every time.
