RE: Why we do pre and post-flight inspections
Thanks for the insight guys! I just wanted to give a good piece of advice to the new guys to the hobby. I have to remind myself from time to time to slow down and check the plane for airworthiness before flight. I still get excited to get in the air when I get to the field so I have to make a concious effort to make sure my planes are safe for flight. I have been involved with full scale flight and aircraft maintenance for the past 8 1/2 year as an Air Force C130 engine mechanic. The Air Force has taught me a great deal about safety and proper care of aircraft. I have far fewer mishaps with my RC aircraft due to the safety mindset instilled in me by the Air Force.
