I would add one more thing to James Frantz's engine out checklist. -
Tighten seatbelt and shoulder harness. (Be aware the stick comes flying aft
if the fuselage breaks between the forward and aft elevator pivot points.)
Also for a canopy with the four latch system I plan to release the two aft
latches - my canopy stays closed with the forward latches only engaged. It
seems to take a long time to get all those latches open when you want to
get out fast.

The 235 instructions state the flaps must be reflexed over 197 kts,
therefore our flaps can be down 7 degrees in 320 terms up to 197 kts. BTW
in my experience the plane flys slower in full reflex at typical GWs and
medium altitudes. I can get a few kts increase in speed by slightly
decreasing from full reflex.
