Default I learned about flying from this, too...

I do.

I'm the only guy I've ever seen using one. But, it's not that big of a
deal for me.. I make my own checklist and slide it into a plastic sheet
protector. This makes it something you can tuck into your waistband while
you check the oil etc... not like a big plastic card.


I did when I first started flying then like many stopped. When I later
got my helicopter rating there were so many things to check you pretty
much couldn't do it with out a written list (well at least I couldn't)
and got back in the habit and do it for fixed wing now as well.
