very sad to see accidents like this still happen - I got taught that when you do pre-flight control checks, stick your thumb up on the yoke, and whichever way you move it, ie full right/roll right, your thumb will point at the up-going aileron - easy to remember for a quick check. Must be a nightmare when you can't see the controls you are operating though .
The title of this thread says it all though dosn't it? No new acidents, just new victims
check, check and check again stay safe people

It is sad when a plane crashes after maintenance to comply with an airworthiness directive as in the example barit1 has posted above.
I recall that several DHC-2's crashed shortly after an A.D. was issued including the one I described in an earlier post on this topic.
I check every flight and triple check after any maintenance.
