Default Preflight/Postflight checklist

I'm just wondering how many turbine pilots use a check list. I just got my waiver and took a plane to my club field for some taxi tests. I wasn't prepared for the crowd it generated. Even though I've started the turbine many times at home without trouble I skipped a step with everyone watching and had 3 unsuccessful start attempts before I realized my trim was in the wrong position.

I started writing my checklist last night and was hoping to get some feedback here as to what everyone else has on their list.

If you don't use an actual list I'd still like to know what you are thinking as you progress from assembly and startup through shutdown. Are there any tricks you use to help you remember everything.

Thanks!

Kevin- Can the newest manual be found online? I looked on your website but didn't see it. I think mine for the 1700 is about 3 years old.
