That's one of the things I've "always" hated about preflight inspections.
No matter how thorough I thought I was, I always felt there was something
I'd missed. It's a learning process, Kevin, there will be things that slip
by you. For now, that's what the instructor is for. Later, whether they're
an instructor or not, it's always helpful to have a second set of eyes
looking things over.

On thing's for certain, you won't miss "that" little drop of oil again! ;-)

Fly Safe,

Closer inspection shows a small drop forming on the underside of the
tail boom. I felt pretty damned stupid for not catching that one, but
learned one more thing to look for when I'm preflighting the ship.
I'm really annoyed with myself because I run my hands over the
tailboom twice as I'm preflighting to check for secure mounting bolts,
dings and missing rivets.. I bet my hand wasn't half an inch from
that drop more than once and I still missed it.
