I've finished creating my own checklists for these two planes. It was actually quite difficult to do and took several hours over a few days. The main difficulty stems from the similarities between the two POHs.
My sources were 1) both POHs, 2) two local flight school checklists for the same aircraft, and 3) what I need in a checklist (things from my experience).
I highly recommend pilots make their own checklists, as it is an excellent way to get you head in the POH.
For instance, one of the local flight schools listed the 172R's Vx at 60. But upon detailed reading of the POH, I find that this is the no-flaps speed. Usually we perform Vx as a short field or maximum takeoff maneuver with 10 degrees, and that airspeed is different. READ THE POH! DON'T TRUST UNVETTED CHECKLISTS!
