I decided to relocate my iPad after my a flight test last weekend. I found the previous location a little too distant for my taste. I think the most ideal position is at eye level where John Miller has installed his. Hopefully the Gizmo guys will come up with a panel mount and give those in process of planning their panel another option.
I swapped the 2" standard clamp leg with a 6" long leg from Ram Mount (they are great people to deal with) and I think that I like this arrangement much better. The second picture shows the iPad in it's pilot-exit configuration. Will post a flight test report this weekend.

I finally received my iPad mount from Ram Mounts. It is a good quality and strong mount.
I used a sheet of aluminum and formed it around the tunnel to use as a temporary bracket and to mount the iPad. Once flight testing t is complete, I will most likely remove the extra aluminum bracket and attach the mount with thru bolts to the tunnel cover.
I have pointed the iPad's charging port up under the panel; so that I can get a 12V charger and connect it behind the panel to charge continuously during flights.
Flight test, this weekend.
