I personally use CBSIFTCB in all the gliders I fly. After that is
complete I'm OK hooking up the rope, then I review WET (Wind,
Emergency, Traffic) and give the signal to launch.

Antares 20E has a built-in take-off checklist in the aircraft
computer which works very nicely. The nice German lady
will warn you if the tail dolly is still attached (though most
pilots taxi and don't use the tail dolly) ;-)
Yes, Really ;-)

The O2 I can turn on in the cockpit.
I do use a preparation checklist for things like
water, suntan lotion, etc.

Landing is pretty idiot-proof. The nice German
lady reprimands you for extending the spoilers
prior extending the landing gear ;-)
Yes, Really ;-)

See ya, Dave "YO electric"

PS: Anyone have checklists on their flight computers ?
We've never done this in the SN10...
