Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Kneeboard Question

John,
A military knee board, surplus and new styles out there.
My flip open desk, that is so nice in the Cessna, is not usable in my Challenger II.
So, I got out my old Army one a pilot, who used it in Nam, gave me. It is strap on and the clip at the top and a spring clip hold everything in place. Has a box that holds stuff and pencil holder on the side and map light on top. Everything flips forward instead of to the side. It is as wide and long as approach plates. One company makes one they call `flipper' or some such..plastic sleeves that flip forward, out of the way of the stick.
Haven't tried the one on wrist…I see on TV is works for football QB.
Live long and Prosper,
Jim/Wiz1
