There are 8 items in your list, as many as CBSIFTCB,
but no structure or mnemonic. Easy to forget something.

There's a lot of structure in it:
- glider preparation
- instrument panel
- mechanics
- concentration

Each of these points is easy enough to accomplish without forgetting a
thing, and as an additional bonus, the method works for all gliders. But
I agreee that up to a certain point, it's a question of personal taste.

BTW, I'm missing the pre flight concentration phase in all other
proposed checklists, which is an absolutely essential point for me.
