We're all human and make mistakes, it happens.

Thankfully, in my 250 hours so far , my biggest and I think only mistake was taking off with one magneto off - hopefully it will stay that way.
All in all our little LSAs are pretty easy to handle and don’t even offer many chances to screw up badly - via distractions or otherwise.
