It looks like a nice plane, indeed! For the POH, have you contacted the manufacturer? They appear to be alive and kicking, even if the Dragonfly is no longer offered. https://vikingaircraft.com/

You should have received a copy with the paperwork for your aircraft, but if not, the manufacturers are the first point of call as Jan indicated. If there is no POH with the airframe, something is amiss as it is part of the 'ships papers' as it were.

That is odd but to be honest, it may be different with an amateur-built airframe. Other options: contact https://www.vlaamseamateurvliegtuigbouw.be/ or https://www.nvav.nl/ (you could also try AOPA) and ask them how this works for an amateur-built type. Next thing I would do is look for owners clubs online (there appears to be one on Facebook and I found several other sites). You could also try the EAA and ask if they know of anybody who could help you.

Dragonfly POH

I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the Viking Dragonfly 3 POH. I am trying to get more information on how the aircraft operates.

Thanks
Fergus

I'm not sure there ever was an official Dragonfly manual, as this is a homebuilt, with each builder making their own choice on how to build and which components to use. There should be a POH relevant to each specific build, unless the local authorities don't require that. For some generic manuals, I'd suggest asking on Dragonflylist on groups.io - can't post links yet, but you should be able to find it through Google.

Ronny,
I have 2 different POH for the MK II, the MK III should be similar, how ever they are too big to attach even in zip form. So ping me & I will email them to you.
I have a Barn find MK III that the main gear design was bad, it also had a leak in the fuel tank . So I'm in the process of finishing the fuel tank repair & will then replace the fuel soaked foam that has already been removed & reskin that area.
I'm looking for any information on the main gear instillation used on your plane as well as some other European ones with a similar main gear installation.
