I need to move my planes to a place for charging the night before a flying day. As I move them and put them down I start going over everything...pull on the surfaces, check servos are still properly mounted, check clevises, check that the battery hasn't moved, check landing gear, etc. Then it goes on charge, the morning when I load it up, I check all the batteries has been fully charged, if the reading doesn't seem correct I leave it. When I get to the field I unpack and set up everything, then as I mount the wings etc (whatever needs to be done) I check everything again to make sure nothing got damaged during transportation (but this is just a brief overcheck). Then I check battery and the correct operation of servo. I then check everything after every flight. At home - I clean my plane and go over it again and then put it away.

Damn I do a lot of checking.

Whenever I'm out of my routine I seem to mess up. Went to the field about 3/4 weeks ago and I was doing so out of it - I didn't do everything in the same sequence I usually did. Fueled and fired her up...taxied out to and had to go to the furthest end of the runway (Thank goodness for that). As the plane was running along the ground to get to the take off point - BOTH wings started to slide off of the plane (caused by vibration). I NEVER bolted the wing down.
