I found out that the Ailerons were in the up mode after I "Saved" the plane
from crashing the Owner of the Artemis said that he did a servo reverse of
the Rudder on a preflight check thats when the wing servo also got reversed
thats when I stepped in when a $1000.00 ship was going to crash from a non
well expert flyer yes he even called my work to thank me for saving his
Brand New Toy..
I always do a Major Preflight on any ship that I am taking up for the first
time ..
You really could hurt someone or something if a plane is set up wrong from
the start..
I would ,not like to loose a flying field or anything else for a stupid
mistake been doing this Glider flying for over 25 years and still have a
safe record.. Thank goodness for AMA!! and common sense...
