Hi there,

Does anyone know if there is a digital version of a POH for a Series 5?

Thanks,

Hi there av8rbc.

I think I have one on digital copy for my 5.
If you drop me your e-mail address, then I will try to send it in 3 sections to you.

Kind regards

Is there a digital version of the POH for an SS7?

There is no POH for the SS7 digital or otherwise; only for the SLSA. John McBean says they deliberately don't give out POH for the kit models because you are supposed to test all the parameters and write your own. They will not give you a copy of the SLSA POH. I agree that you are supposed to come up with your own numbers, but I think it would be very helpful and no liability problem for the factory if they could send a digital "MS WORD" template with all the numbers we are supposed to fill in blanked out with XXXX's. A lot of things like checklists, emergency procedures, recommended takeoff/landing procedures, etc. are kind of difficult to come up with on your own. I know some of this is available in the "Kitfox Pilot's Guide" book they sell (which covers all models), but it is not very easy to sort it all out for say an SS7, and it does not cover checklists and several other things that should be in a POH.

I would like to hear John chime in on this, since they must have a digital template already for their SLSA that could easily be modified to blank out the pertinent numbers that we should test for. I would be willing to pay a reasonable price for it.

The plan is to offer a modified version of the POH for the S5-SS.
We do not have an expectation of completion at this time.

That sounds great John. I'm sure there will be many of us who will appreciate it.

Any update on this? Or does anyone have a template POH for the SS that they would be willing to share?

I did find some nice POH templates on the Vans Air Force Forum:

It'd be nice if we could do something similar here.
