Thanks, I worry that mounted on the yoke it would block the view of instruments and on a suction mount arm it will be hard to use in any kind of rough air; it must be on a long arm to reach from the windscreen to the edge of the glareshield, and then my arm will be stuck out into space to reach it. The advantage of the kneeboard is that you can rest your wrist on it so your hand bounces in synch with the ipad! I will see if I can get hold of one of the RAM mounts that can be used for either yoke or suction mount. Any thoughts on how easy/acceptable these systems are to use on a rented a/c?

Also, I wonder what people's personal preferences are on North-up vs course-up? For sailing, I have always used North up and expected that I would prefer that, but for some reason I find it a bit non-intuitive for flying.
