Question flight manual

Howdy,
New to the forum. Just wondering if there is such a thing as a Vans AF Flight manual for the RV8?

Default POH

Click on "POH" on the left side of the home page for several samples. Writing a manual (or not) is up to the builder of each aircraft.

Default FlIght Manual

I'd like a copy of yours to help in designing and detailing my own. If you are agreeable, my e-mail is dicusd37@aol.com, and I would surely appreciate the opportunity to see what you've done. Thanks.

Bill
