I am a new Fire Fly owner. Can some other Fire Fly pilots send me examples of the check lists they use for before taxi/take off and before landing/ shutdown. Thanks Pete lhaggerty(at)tampabay.rr.com

Sometimes folks get really religious about check lists. As long as you are checking everything before flight that could get you killed if not right, then you are doing a good check list.
That said, I would add the following comments about your list.
1) Checking the fuel level before flight is more important than checking it before landing.
2) I didn't see a mag check in the pre-take-off check.
3) During your take-off roll make sure you are developing normal RPM, if not ABORT. Do not get airborne if your engine is not developing normal RPM.

Here is the list I use. it is a good size when printed for on my knee board;
There is also a 2nd sheet where I jot the basics of each flight down as
i do them.
It is in Excel so you can modify it for your own use.

1.) That is in my pre-flight checklist which I didn't include here because I didn't think Pete was asking for that, but do follow religiously because the one time I didn't use it I got lucky but sure learned my lesson.
I haven't used this checklist I attached very much because my plane is so simple this is really in my head. But I will probably start using it because there are times when I forget about my ELT and one time I left the master on and my battery was dead next time I came out.
2.) I don't do a mag check because I have single ignition.
3.) That would be in a takeoff checklist which I also did not include here. If anything is not normal I would abort takeoff. I've only aborted one time when my ASI wasn't reading anything. Oh ya, and another time when my controls felt "funny", but it ended up being a good crosswind had kicked up.

Seen on a few checklists, but not all, is "check controls for freedom
of movement"
Good idea.
When lined up on the runway for takeoff, the last thing I do is to
push the stick to all four corners to make sure it moves freely and
isn't hung up somewhere.
There was a fatal DC-9 crash once, when a rock blew up into the
elevator hinge, during engine runup, and jammed them full up.

Yep, that's on that list. About half way down. Pretty much the most
important one to me. I can fly without an engine, but if the control
jams in the corner you're stuffed. Eeeeek
In case people didn't spot it, when you open the Excel sheet you need to
switch to Sheet 1 for the list
