Default Always check your flight controls BEFORE starting your engine

The worst thing I've found is after an annual, where the mechanic left an
engine hoist chain attached to my engine, but cowled it up! Yes, I checked
the oil and filler prior to departing, but there was no way to see the chain
through the inspection door.

Considering it is an aerobatic plane, I did not roll it inverted on the way
home, which would have been my normal practice to see if anything shook
loose. It was the last time I went to them for anything.
