Easy access to aircraft flight data

I am a relatively new Flight Simulator user. I am learning fast thanks mainly to YouTube. But I am still having all manner of difficulty finding aircraft flight data so I know what the flight will look like before I start using a new plane. The checklist has some data and so does the flight assistant but these are only accessed once you are committed to the flight and take up a lot of screen space.

So I have embarked on putting together some key aircraft data that can be easily accessed. And I have built some add-ons for my VelocityOne that is connected to my XBox series X to make the data easily accessible. The attachments are designed to print on a 3D printer. They are all downloaded to Thingiverse and Printables and you can find them by searching on VelocityOne.

With the attachments my setup looks like this:

Included with the STL files on the two sites is a word document that can be printed, trimmed etc and put into the frame that can be printed from the STL files. It contains the data that I have been able to find from POH’s, Google, MSFS check lists and the Flight Assistant. But there are lots of gaps.

So, what I am looking for is help to get the data file more complete. It will help me plan better flights and I am happy to share it around once its finished. So, if you think you can help, download the word file and see what you can add. Perhaps post it back in a reply to this topic.

Thanks

P.S. This is what the Word template looks like:

Some more comments on the add-ons in the picture.
The tumbler has been designed to slide in slips of paper to show the function key assignments that I have set up in my VelocityOne. I have set up the function keys to operate either with a key press on the function key button, or with a two key entry using the left button and left hat. So, function button B3 might be gear up, but if used in combination with the left button it might be Autopilot ON. So I am using 6 layers of options for the function keys. The tumbler has six faces and can be rotated to see the what all 6 key combinations have been set up for. The coding sheet and a template to print them so they can be slid into the tumbler is included with the STL files.

The other one is a notepad holder that clips over the VelocityOne column to hold a standard A5 notepad to make notes about things to remember about the flight planned.

I just print out the checklists for small GA

It prints into a booklet and I staple the spine and then have it on my kneeboard during the flight.
