The 'Coupe came with two books. One was the POH. The other was a little manual (still available from Univair) that had the checklists and lube points, and some good handling pointers. Still, you need a checklist. I need one to make sure that I've turned on the gas before I start the engine so I don't taxi ten feet and then hear the 'Ha ha' sound from the Simpsons as the engine quits. I like to have a checklist to make sure that I do things like set the altimeter before I take off, and turn the transponder to 'ALT.' Of course, the landing checklist is just about dumb. Carb heat on. I have no working mixture control, and the trim just sets the airspeed, sort of. Different people like different levels of detail on the list. That's their privilege. Greg
