On two purchases i have discovered goofs which left un tended would lead to a crash on one the esc wires werent properly soldered to the contacts. On another the wing servo was loose, i attempted to adjust the throw on the aileron arm and the servo moved side to side. On one plane the servo arm was out of center i didnt want to use sub trim and the servo was buried under the skin. Took out a knife cut the servo out which was glued in with gobbits of of glue

Absolutely. I go over every part to determine any defects, & during the assembly process check each area for fit & alignment. I generally make out a short list of areas I feel need some mods to enhance reliability, performance, & stability. Servo throws, wiring connections, motor run w/wattmeter, control surface movements, clevis & horn connections, & landing gear mounting parameters. It has paid off handsomely with superb maiden flights. Don't hesitate to do a bit of homework & evaluations.
