Opinions are like rear ends. Everyone has one. Check lists are good ideas, they should highlight the critical events like locking the canopy and putting down the landing gear. I heard a story of a glider pilot who landed gear up on the runway with a student pilot in back of him. He couldn't make it off the runway and the student with limited skill and experience dinged his wing. Perhaps a checklist on the panel with "put the gear down," would have saved some repairs.

Just my opinion

Walt
