Agreed, this is a good read.
Albert - The one thing in the check list I don't like is in the Post Flight section. You have the Transmitter power being shut off before the receiver power. I NEVER do it that way. Receiver power is shut off only while still in control by the transmitter. 2.4 or FM, this is the way it should always be done. Jets or prop planes makes no difference. I've seen gassers with failsafes not set properly go to full throttle... not fun. With jets if the turbine is off, it may save your flight surfaces in the accidental gear up glitch or other unforeseeable issue. Food for thought.
