Control checks!
It appears that a life could have been saved had basic controls checks
been performed - "Controls free and in the correct sense". A walk round wag of the ailerons with verifcation the other one moved, or a positive control check after assembling, would also have helped. As a flight instructor I see too many pilots that think a control check is satisfied by wiggling the stick. Some don't even think that is needed. Be careful out there! http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?e...25X01122&key=1 Andy
