Looking for 'Ulitmate' IFR flight form

Has anyone found a REALLY great/comprehensive 'flight form' to use for their
IFR flying?

It's not the Jepp binder ones. They just sacrificed a bunch of room in
the weather briefing area so the bottom of *every* *single* *sheet* could
have the complete explanation of when to file /E (or whatever the EFIS
code is). It takes up 1/4 of the page...

I'm thinking of making up a form and having kinkos print me a pad.

LOL! That's been my experience as of late, too.

"Cessna 123, full route clearance, advise when ready to copy."

Then, in the air not even past the first fix:

"Cessna 123, Center has an amended clearance, advice when ready to
copy."

I've flown IFR four times recently between the SF Bay Area and Portland,
Oregon. Here is a representative reproduction of everything I have written
on my kneeboard at the end of a 4+ hour 500+ NM flight (hand written on a
blank mini legal pad):

-----
8/22 KHIO CANBY SIX CANBY V23 SAC V334 SJC -D 7000 2115Z

ENI 328@50 5 NM/8000 MSL

HIO *T* 2050Z 340@6 V10 SCT050 21/12 29.96 VIS RWY30

CANBY6 M4K X7K 5 MIN 126.0 6633

OFF 2123

NGF66F

PAO *Q* 0047Z 290@15 FEW040 29.93

FLT 4:27 T 509.0 H 611.5
-----

That is my filed route, weather briefing, departure ATIS, clearance, time
off, the N number of a NORDO aircraft that I was asked by ATC to help
locate, arrival ATIS, and end-of-flight timestamps.

Not sure what I'd do with a big complex flight planning form.

Mine are similar, except I also have notations on when I switched from each tank:
LM 45, RM 1:30, LT etc.

I do something similar on a blank sheet but also have the output from
Aeroplanner (or DUATS) to remind me of courses, radio frequencies, and
expected time en route, although now that I'm mostly flying airplanes with
Garmin 430's, ETA and ETE are always available.

You must fly a Cessna, because the single most important item I track on a
long flight is the time I switch fuel tanks.

I created one myself in Word which I use for IFR and VFR planning. Sometimes I
use it more, sometimes less (sometimes not at all, depends on the flight and
reroutings I get). If you want, Email me (mind the spam trap) and I'll send
you the file. It's in Microsoft Word 97 format.

I made my own too. Certainly not the most comprehensive but after 2-3
revisions over 3-4 years, it's mine!

Making one up myself to fit my own needs was a good experience. I thought
out, and re-thought out what I want written down, in what order, etc. I
built my 'approach briefing' into the form so when single pilot IFR headspin
starts up, I know I can checkoff the items on my personal briefing form with
great confidence and calm. I've revised it when I discovered flaws or
omissions.
