In the "further discussion" category: The desire for a pre-launch
checklist is obvious but I question the value of one that is not glider
specific.

I had a checklist for my 304CZ that included setting the flap. My third
flight in my V2C, the spoilers deployed during takeoff. I had used my
304CZ checklist because I hadn't gotten around to making one for my V2C
yet, and in the 304CZ, one cannot put the flap in the -1 position
without first locking the airbrakes, so I had no separate checklist
item for the latter!

And on my Grob-102 checklist I've added "Left hand on spoiler handle
after thumbs up."
