Default Log Book - Yawn!

Hi all. Over the years I've always been disappointed by my soaring log books. I have the standard SSA long/skinny with 10 flights per page, and tiny little spaces to write details. The print is so small I can barely read most it. Forget trying to read the notes and signatures of my instructors. Yuck.

I'm not a professional pilot, and I don't fly thousands of hours a year. A compact log book that holds 400 flights is totally unnecessary.

I love my SCUBA log book. I can do planning, keep track of my equipment, weight choices, weather, dive buddies, locations and interesting happenings.. Filling out my SCUBA log book was part of the fun. It's time our log books become part of the experience.

I'm not a professional pilot, and I don't fly thousands of hours a year. A compact log book that holds 400 flights is totally unnecessary.

I'm designing a new log book interior. I plan to have different attractive covers, and will have them available to everyone. Currently the design is 6" x 9" (15cm x 23cm for the sensible world). Right now, I'm using a very large font, so there is room to add additional features.

Layout:
Page 1 - Contact and Emergency Information, home field or club info
Page 2 - Ratings and FAI awards
Pages 3 & 4 - Endorsements
Page 5 - Cheat sheet with speeds and notes for different models (club pilots)
Page 6 - Notes
Pages 7 through 156 - 150 flight log

Questions:
Are there other pages I should add, such as quick reference guides, popular frequencies, etc.?
Feedback on the flight log page? https://flic.kr/p/2kXipYk

Thanks!
