I am returning to this project - as I said before, I want it for me, but I'm very happy to share.
For those who don't want to read back to the start of the thread, I'm on a mission to design the perfect general aviation pilots logbook. I'm just about happy with it now. The idea is that it can be good for absolutely any kind of flying you do without any mucking about with crossing outs or tippex. My ambition is to have one for me, in my hand, after Christmas (as my present Pooleys Commercial logbook hasn't enough space for 2018!).
These are the pages as I currently have them: my plan is 210mm square, hard cloth bound (I quite like burgundy), 24 flights per page, and I'm thinking 120 double pages, a few pages in the front for name/address/licence numbers, etc. 100gsm (reasonably heavy weight) paper. Copy the regs on keeping logbooks with a bit of explanation into the back.
So basically good for around 2,500 flying hours, with up to 12 categories of flying recorded (whatever mix of microlights, aeroplanes, gliders, day/night/IFR, PiC/PuT, etc. fits your flying profile).
My preference is to do it in burgundy cloth hardback, a single line of silver print on the front with something like "Aircrew Logbook". I could knock off about a quid without the silver print on the front, but don't think I would.
Looks like I could get these printed and delivered to me for somewhere in the range £14-£28 each depending upon how many I order. If at least 6 people want one, then definitely under £20 each.
If I could I'd try and do it "print on demand" via Amazon but that doesn't seem feasible. Basically the printers doing the cloth/hardback/square combination I want will only do it in batches, not ones. However, hardly the end of the world.
Does anybody think they'd like one if I get some printed?
