Discover something quite disconcerting. It can be tricky keeping track of port and starboard, particularly when inverting the aeroplane, so I regularly scrawl 'port' or 'stbd' on bits where it may be useful. As such it is quite unsettling to discover I have got it backwards on the nose under the canard and on the bottom of the canopy frame. I go to install the canopy hinge flanges, and have a sudden attack of angst, are the port and starboard marked on them the right way round??? I celebrate this uncertainty by installing the f*&king things upside down as well...
Spend some funtime crippling myself in the back seat...
Trimmy, trimmy
Hinge is now labelled correctly, but the flanges are upside down...
