It appears that I am going to be the owner of a flying RV-9A. With a little luck, the transfer will happen next week (and yes, I plan to keep building my 9A). I have what I hope is a simple question - the plane does not come with a POH. As an experimental aircraft, my understanding is it does not need a POH.
Nonetheless, I want one.
I assume then that it is acceptable for me to write my own POH based on data I collect for things like Vx, Vy, Vs1, Vso, etc?
I have seen the W&B sheet and I didn't see a max gross weight. I understand what Van's states and what builders do (and why). This plane seems light (1048 empty wt) and i'd like to know what the builder specified for the gross weight. Would that number exist somewhere other than the POH?
