Kempton Izuno first showed me the flipbook style checklist in his
cockpit. It was large and readable, positioned right in front of the
pilot. There were multiple lists for landing, takeoff, cross country,
etc. Most importantly, it flipped completely out of the way when not
needed.

I planned to write a little article for Soaring on how to do this, but
never got around to it. Your request inspired me to dig out the
photos of how to make a flipbook checklist and throw them on a website
to share. Please visit:
