They are fine ultralights but you might like to approach them a bit differently.
Do the items required from memory, in a flow type arrangement (start top one corner and move across the panel).
When all has been completed, then read the checklist to see if you missed anything and that thye have been done.
If you read the checklist then do one item, read the checklist do the next item, thn it is not only time consuming, it can be dangerous with all that head inside cockpit time, and not noticing the climbing oil temp, handbrake creep, the other cessna coming head on...
Use it to CHECK that all the things have been done.
