iPad users:

I'm more inclined to have the iPad in the RV-10 cockpit up in front by the dash somewhere, rather than as a kneeboard.

What experience have others had?  Is a RAM mount clamped on the edge of the glareshield rigid enough?  Other mounting ideas?

Tim,

I have mine mounted on the tunnel just in front of the fuel valve.

Any though given to mounting it to the center post along the windscreen? It could double as a sun visor.

That would be perfect dual sun visor iPads when not using the iPad function but needing the visor you just turn on the rear camera and you get forward facing view while still blocking the sun. Patent anyone?

I went to recurrent training at flight safety with the Niles owner of rosen visors. He said they were working on iPad visors. The problem I have is not being able to tighten them enough and with the weight of the iPad plus turbulence it might be difficult.

Plus, having the iPad in the sun causes it to heat up and lock up (won't let you on until it cools down). I think mounting it on the tunnel with an extension that holds it up at the height of an armrest would be best, but I haven't used one mounted to the panel. I think that would be nice as well. I usually use it on the armrest. As a kneeboard it gets in the way of my stick way too much.

Last email did not go thru lets try again.

  

 I have been working on a pop up shelf that will hold a phone  under the IPad. I have 

 had this in the airplane for over a year and really like it. I  do not use it

 on take off or landing usually. It can be popped up or down  very quickly. I am still refining

 but getting close.

I like that!

     

     I'm using a knee board and it's working well but is less than ideal.      

     

     My instrument instructor uses a suction cup on the windshield but I     don't see that working for the left seat pilot.  Plus I don't like     the idea of blocking out any of the view (ironic since no matter     where you put it, the time spent looking at it effectively blocks     the view).

     

     I'm working on a center console to enclose an O2 bottle.  I'm     thinking that a hardpoint for a swivel mount that would enable the     ipad to hover over my right knee would be ideal.  In the end, that     position seems best since it doesn't block any instruments and is     comfortable for right hand operation.

Patent anyone?

Isn't there an FAR that prohibits sunvisors that block the view out of the windshield?

"Isn't there an FAR that prohibits sunvisors that block the view out of the windshield?"



Cessna built 1000's of aircraft with solid (like a car) sunvisors, so I think the answer is "no".
