These are cheap check lists I use. You can get the "supplies" from Wal Mart. I find as I add more things to them I can easily print them out again and put them in a laminating pouch and throw out the old one and velcro the new one on.
I find the Full page checklists a little impractical to pull out all the time and having them small and easily accessible works well for me.
I have a Pre/Cockpit and Post flight list. My wife thinks I go overboard on Velcro (I use it everywhere such as on my phone and have places in my car I can velcro it to if my daughter wants to watch something). So every time she goes to Wal Mart, I can always work her up a bit by asking her to pick up some more Velcro for me !

Hey Damien, BRILLIANT! idea I love the velcro usage.
Would you be willing to share your Checklists with us?
I realize that your checklist will be pertinant to your trike but we will have a lot of similar points that we share.
Share on brother!
