This is THE most important "to-do" in the hobby! There are pilots who
have a written
checklist, some have memorized procedures and still others either do a little
pre-flight or none at all. The following are suggestions on how to improve
your
pre-flight or start building one.
Spending just a few minutes before going to the field and before you taxi
to take off will save you money, planes and lots of frustration.
This list is not all inclusive...all systems should checked periodically!
