Enclosed is the POH that I developed during the flight testing of my RV-6A. It
is roughly based on a typical Cessna POH, with modifications specific to an
RV. There are also specific references to my tail number and equipment
installed in my RV-6A. For this POH to be useful, you must tailor it to your
specific aircraft. The tail number can easily be changed with a search and
replace. Other modifications will take longer, such as references to the trike,
tip-up canopy, C/S prop, RMI engine monitor, internal ski rack, etc.
Most performance figures (fuel flow, endurance, speed, ROC, glide
performance, etc) were obtained from actual test data.
The Annual Condition Inspection forms should be manually placed at the end
of the document after it is printed. I found it beneficial to print the checklists
out separately and use them during the preflight (pages 7-12, 26-29).
This document is best used when printed on a color printer. The 8 ½” X 11”
paper should be cut to the proper size after printing.
The Annual Condition Inspection was taken from the RV-List. I think it was
originally written by George Orndorff. The Van’s Airforce logo was
downloaded from the internet and I have no idea of the original artist. If
George or the designer of the logo objects to these being included in the POH, I
will remove them from all further distributions.
This POH can be considered “freeware”. It is distributed free of charge. You
may pass it on to anyone else as long as this title page remains intact.
I am not a technical writer and make no warrantee as to the accuracy of the
information contained in the enclosed document. You MUST review, modify
and be comfortable with the enclosed information PRIOR to using it as a
preflight/ inflight reference. Due to the nature of homebuilt aircraft, I feel it is
impossible to develop one standard POH to cover all RV-6A’s, -6’s, etc. Use
the enclosed information at your own risk. If you don’t agree with this
disclaimer, just delete this entire document and get on with your life.
This document is still under constant revision. If anyone has any ideas on how
it can be improved, please let me know. I hope this is of help to others.
