Although not generally in use during the Great War, check lists became commonplace in the late 1930’s as aircraft became more complex. We’ve developed a series of checklists specifically for a Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter fitted with dual controls, Gnome Monosoupape rotary engine and pressurized fuel system utilizing a Rotherham air pump.
You may use our check lists – pre-flight inspection, pre-start, starting procedure, running engine check, immediate post flight and post-flight inspection – as guidelines to tweak for your Great War flying machine.
