Every full size pilot knows the term during run up where you check that 
your controls are free AND correct!!. I do like Jerry does as much as 
possible as well. That's one thing I like about my 14MZ while it will 
let me choose the wrong model at least it also lets me put a small photo 
of it on the screen as if to say "well, I tried".
