Elastic strap is velcro adjustable, sturdy and long enough for any pilot. ConsPen/pencil holder does not firmly hold a standard No. 2 pencil that well. However, you could bend in the prongs for a better fit. Minor issue. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

Good value. Good size. Comfortable leg strap. ConsDon't like the pen/pencil clip at the top. It bends too easily(it was already bent when I received the board), and if there's no pen in it you can scrape or cut yourself on it. I don't expect the foam that's glued under the board to hold up very long, but we'll see. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

Great writing surface in the cockpit. Clip will hold loose approach plates or several charts with ease. Handy VFR/IFR placard on kneeboard. Pen clip (pro and con). Comfortable to use. ConsThe only two elements of this product that kept me from awarding straight 5's were the elastic strap and the pen clip. The strap seems like it will have a fairly short life. It does stretch out quite a bit when you secure it to your thigh (and I consider myself reasonably fit 5' 11 General CommentsOverall, I am completely satisfied with this product. It is very well built (save for two exceptions) and performs exactly as promised. A new IFR pilot, this kneeboard is an invaluable tool to have in the cockpit. It should be an essential item in the cockpit. |
