Al, If it's the one that I'm thinking of (It opens up like a folder) save your time, it's way too big to use in the RV10. I sent mine back.

Rob: can't find the pics on RAM's web page. Could you send them when you get a chance?
How do you like flying with the iPad?

I have the knee board strap.it is ok. i'm looking to mount mine under the throttle quadrant at an angle on the tunnel but worried about the temp. the ipad can shot down if it gets too hot.

I personally like keeping mine free. I use a normal kneeboard for writing down clearances and frequencies and stuff like that (on paper), and use the ipad for maps, airport info and plates. I have an armrest between the front seats and I usually either keep the ipad on the armrest or on my lap. I put it on the glare shield a couple of times and it quickly overheats, which renders it unusable until it cools down. Not going that anymore. When I want to put it away I put it inside the armrest or hand it to the copilot to hold while I fly the plane. If it isn't mounted in/on the panel, I can't think of a good place to fix it in the plane where it wouldn't be in the way.
YMMV

Deems, did you find a better solution? Maybe I’ll just use it like Jesse Saint does. I’m using Foreflight at the moment but I see on Flight Guide’s webpage that they have a GPS Antenna addon and sounds like they are planning moving map and weather with their App. Might see some interesting stuff at Oshkosh this year.

I will take some with my phone and send them to you tomorrow when it is light outside.
I love flying with the iPad. Cannot imagine ever carrying charts again. The only problem is direct sunlight. It is not bad enough for me to consider any other tablet or charts.
I just ordered the anti glare Tim recommended and will know soon if it works. My neighbor bought an anti glare locally so we can compare. I will let the list know how. They compare.

I did my iPad 2 and it took me a while. You have to NOT at all
put any kinks in the plastic with a fingernail or other, don't
flex it to the point of kinking locally. Have NO dust around,
and when it fails to go on dust free, wash it in a spray of
warm water and shake it off and apply it and squeege it on
with something flat like a credit card. It took me 3 or 4
tries to get it fairly good this time, because i couldn't
keep enough dust away. You can pick the dust off the sticky
back when its wet. It can be frustrating, but, once you get
it on, it works really well and is very strong.

I have been working on a new flip up mount. It will hold the iPad, knee
board or any ipod or phone. It is great when traveling.
It is still a work in progress.

I hope you plan on marketing them. I want to be first on your list to purchase it.

I found that my bad Elf GPS unit doesn't always seem to pick up the satellites so I got an extension cable so that the GPS can lay up on the glare shield (along with the Garmin 496 GPS and WX pucks). I may have to start thinking about external gps antennas although I'm going to try placing the Bad Elf up in the overhead console next. Extension cable was 4.99 + 4.99 shipping from cellphoneshop.com so not as expensive as I had imagined. I'm learning to love this iPad and Foreflight.
