While I certainly agree pre flight checklists like "remove elevtor control 
lock", the KR series of aircraft allows (for a nice word) a multitude of 
components exclusive to an individual airplane.  Most people will have 
different canopy latches, different fuel systems, different avionic systems. 
  I'll give this as an example.  When we started Jeff York's newly bought KR 
for the first time, figuring out the fuel flow system within the cockpit was 
the first order of business.  As I recall three different fuel flow valves 
were inside the cockpit, along with a drain.  Some basic items such as 
aileron ckeck, elevator check, rudder check, prop, etc. on the outside and 
items such as oil pressure check, amp check, fuel check, trim check should 
be standard there will no "one size fits all" list.

Make one up, I'll have one, you wouldn't believe the number of RV tipup 
canopy flyers have there canopy open to the 4" mark because they forgot to 
latch the handle behind their head. How much building time would it 
take................what, an hour to make one up!!
