There is no regulatory requirement for you to have a POH in the aircraft in Canada. CAR 604.04(1) says ?No person shall conduct a take-off in an aircraft, for which an aircraft flight manual is required by the applicable standards of airworthiness, unless the aircraft flight manual or, if an aircraft operating manual has been established under section 604.37 or Part VII, the aircraft operating manual is available to the flight crew members at their duty stations.?

There is nothing in the applicable standards of airworthiness for amateur built aircraft that requires a flight manual, so CAR 604.04 is not applicable to your aircraft.

Of course, it is very smart to fully understand the performance of your aircraft, including stall speed, best glide speed, etc and to develop normal, abnormal and emergency checklists that are correct for your aircraft. But, every aircraft is different, with its own engine, propellor, airspeed system errors, aircraft systems, avionics etc, so you can?t just copy the performance data or checklists from someone else?s aircraft and think they are fully applicable to yours. You need to do some flight testing to determine the performance of your aircraft. Then you can document that performance in the POH that you write. You need to consider the systems and avionics that are installed in your aircraft when you write your checklists. The POHs on that page are good examples of what you might want to put in your POH.

When I lost all my aircraft documents in the Sun&Fun tornado in 2011, I went to my FISDO and got new copies of EVERYTHING.
I would think you can search the N number in the FAA data base and find where you have to go to get copies.

It was very painless for me.

Default Copies at FISDO?

In my case the local FISDO did not copy anything I recorded about aircraft operations.
