Okay, that's good! But I've gotta know, would it be proper procedure to assure that the aileron locks are in place prior to a wings folded takeoff, to prevent the use of the ailerons creating an unsafe condition in flight?

Jet fighter neophite question: Could one not just fly the aircraft as nearly vertical as possible, thus unloading the wings aerodynamically, and select them to unfold? Maybe nobody would ever find out!? Just courious...
