My real simple way to keep the dolly from being missed;

If I didn't remove it myself, or see a ground person carry it away, I
always ask the wing runner "Is the tail dolly removed?", before I
close the canopy.

My pretakeoff checklist

Altimeter (check all instruments)
Belts
Canopy (push up and really check. Guess how I know to do that)
Controls
Cable
wind Direction (plan for wind)
Dive Brakes (check flap setting at this time)
Tail Dolly (Do I really remember removing it? If not ask wing runner
to check)
Trim
Traffic (did wing runner look?)
Emergency plan

Though dolly usually is not a big cg issue, the combination of dolly
and lightweight passengers in the front seat could be.
