A story related to me from the east coast site where I once flew but after I
left there.

A 1-26 pilot wrecked the glider and had major injuries. He rebuilt it then
recovered it. They did a very thorough preflight as is required after doing
that type of thing. Only problem is that they confirmed the ailerons were
connected but didn't notice that they worked opposite of what they should
have. Pilot took off and released soon thereafter again wrecking the
glider. Pilot (different person) was uninjured. Cables were "crossed".
