Default Warning: Ground Check

I once hand launched one of my e-flyers on the wrong model memory number on my computer radio. Big mistake.
Been there Cruz. Brought my Simple 400 to the club picnic last year. Wanted the diehard glow guys to see a quick electric. (I'd demonstrated some E stuff at a club meeting, so....)

Anyway, had a friend hand launch for me, same deal, wrong model on my 6XAS and reversed ailerons. (And hollered it as soon as I realized.) I was fortunate though, was able to recover and actually managed a full circuit of the field and landed it quite nicely. (And I don't have rudder on this thing.)

Got a round of applause, but it was the single scariest circuit I ever flew!
