A lot of the stuff in my list above is superfluous in the Luscombe:-
Pitch set to fine - wot that?
Pitot Heat on - ????
Pressures (fuel & oil) within limits - Oil I understand - but fuel?
Flaps set for take-off - Flaps???
Fuel pump on if required, set to correct tank, sufficient for flight - Fuel Pump???
Gills set as required - Gills???
All a bit of a mystery really
