Hey, I am looking for a creative way to mount an iPad (ForeFlight) in relatively small cockpits (152's and 172's). I am 6 foot tall, and when I use it as a kneeboard, I find it hard to have full travel range of the yoke (specifically when elevator back pressure and a left ailerons are applied...

hey guys, I'm looking into buying a single engine land for my time building and fun flying. I prefer a 4 seater (mainly 172's or PA-28, just because I've flown both), though a 2 seater would also work if the costs are too high for a 4 seater. I have researched the web and I have an idea of...
