Okay guys, I can understand scribe lines and check list items, but even these are subject to human error.
After several people were killed in Variezes and LongEZs when one or both fuel caps went through the prop, the solution was to attach the caps in such manner that even if the cap comes off it can only go a few inches before it is restrained. Both the fuel cap and oil cap on Meadowlark have a cable restraint. Just something to consider.

For years on my EZ the procedure to refuel was to put the caps in the pilot seat. This makes it uncomfortable to forget them. I use the same idea on my Firefly. This goes for sparkplugs, wrenches, wingbolts or anything else that you don't want to forget.
