how do you hold the list up where you can look out the window and still control the airplane?
With the hand that is not on the throttles!!!
Perhaps a pilot who can't counteract the combination of wind and current should not be out on such a day. i.e. such an example says nothing about the checklist and more about pilot technique.
I am surprised you didn't ask how the run-up could be performed without the Goose moving forward so that a checklist could be used!!
