Today's flight, figured to video how I preflight my plane. Comments
here or on the video most welcomed. Always nice to hear input to make
me a safer pilot!


Very Good. i didn;t watch all of it, but it's thorough and you use the
checklist.

Two thins I'd add to it if they're not already in there.

One, as you walk around, stand back every so often and look at the
airframe. You're looking for wrinkles in the skin or anything else that
might look strange.
Second, you should grab the wingtip and give the airplane a good shaking (
after the tiedowns are removed)
this does two things. Reveals some kinds of damage, like elongated wing
mounting holes and such, and perhaps more importantly, it will get any fuel
that might be hiding in the fuel tank away from the sump out of it's
depression and into the sump.
