I also used to fly RC airplanes, first flight of a new airplane I did the same thing - fortunately I had asked another guy to be next to me for the flight... a moment or so after I asked him to reach over and flip the dip switch for channel 2 (i.e. when he realized what I was asking for) I could...

New member/first post here... Anyone have interesting stories to share from their checkrides over the years? I would be curious to hear them. Mine only one so far is below. Also, just in case this DPE is reading/this was as memorable for them as it was for me (unlikely), I wouldn't hesitate...
