Or... how not to maiden an RC plane.

Proximate cause of accident - reversed ailerons.  Contributing cause - rushing to maiden between pilots flying IMAC-type planes, I obviously failed to do a proper control check.  Hard to believe that in all the testing and setup beforehand that I didn't notice, but... there you go.

The good news is, I think it will fly again.  Maybe not quite like an arrow but there are benefits to crashing upside-down.  Like not completely smashing the landing gear...
