There have been a few other POHs, a general purpose one that has been on
the
Murphy site for the Rebel, and the Archer's did a nice one for their plane.

I've looked at a number of POH's for RVs and have studied boiler plates
from
the EAA and certificated POHs from Cessna.

I created a generic POH for an Elite based on my POH and checklists. I
removed references to my constant speed prop since almost all have fixed
pitch props. I also removed specific airspeeds as they will depend on your
aircraft and flight testing. All items that are custom to your airplane are
marked with ### to make customizing easier. You will need to review
everything, modify and add as appropriate for your project.

For US builders, there is no required format for your POH, in fact placards
and instrument markings may be enough. But, a nice POH may help grease the
skids with the FAA or DAR that inspects your project. So, delete entire
sections or add critical information that I didn't include. You want your
POH to have what you need to find when things are going well or when it all
goes south.

As the old joke goes, an airplane can't fly until the weight of the
paperwork equals the weight of the airplane. I hope this POH reduces the
amount of time it takes to create your own forest of paperwork for your
official airworthiness (and paperwork) inspection.

This builders group is outstanding and it is a pleasure to give something
back after relying so heavily on all the help over the years.

I see you are on the computer right now.
I will take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year!
It is as cold down here as it is up there, but we don't have anything to shovel and the driving is better.
The afternoons aren't toooooooo bad. Judy
