When setting up your airplane it's important to check your control surfaces to be sure that they're operating correctly and (more importantly) that they're not reversed.
You should perform this test every time you are about to pilot an airplane for the first time. The 'high five' method is an easy way to test your control surfaces.
With your radio above your aircraft, move the stick in the direction of the control surface and it should move towards your stick causing a virtual 'high five'.
This is just one way to insure a success flight especially when building your own speed build swappable airplane, where swapping your power pod and connecting electrics more often.
