I'm sorry, I'm new to coupes.  I thought this was a simple airplane to
fly.
>From the looks of some of the check lists, I'm coming to
believe that the Coupe is more in the complexity of a 737, or there
abouts.
The check lists I've seen here are more complex than the list
we had in an old Aztec that I flew.  It seems that we're trying to
glamorize
a simple little, fun airplane.
    My coupe didn't come with a check list, so I'm going to take all that
I've seen here, and make my own.  Something more in the line of:
Turn on gas, Turn on Engine, and then Turn on.
