Forgot "primer locked" - comes of flying with electric primers or a/c that use the accelerator pump!

Dubs, if that happens you're doing your checks too slowly! It should certainly take no more than 5 seconds to get through them. I always thought that the reason for going to carb heat first is because it is the most common recoverable cause of failure. Even so I don't see a 5-second delay being as important as a simple set of checks so they are done quickly and thoroughly every time, without distracting from the most important part: flying the aircraft!

Monocock - the stationary prop has little effect on the stall speed!
