Funny, cuz I have no clue what (W)USTALL stands for.

When I was flying an ASW-20, WUF (Water, Undercarriage, Flaps) was
considered enough of a check list by senior club members who were also
instructors. Now I fly an early Standard Libelle the checklist should be
pared down to U since it has no flaps and doesn't carry water. In
practise no checklist is needed: I simply follow our club practice of
making a 5 minute call and saying what direction I'm appearing from. Then
I make another call on downwind announcing my choice of circuit direction
and runway and confirming that my u/c is down and locked.
