    Just a good old knee-board. I also like the IFR placard stuck to the back of it.

    Cons

    Typical velcro strap for your leg, not my favorite.

    Pros

    Nice, heavy gauge aluminum board with strong spring clamp. Elastic strap is velcro adjustable, sturdy and long enough for any pilot.

    Cons

    Pen/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.

    Easy to read. Good value. Good size. Comfortable leg strap.

    Cons

    Don'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.

    Cheap, easy, good info on the placard, clip holds notepads of many various sizes.

    Cons

    Pen clip has sharp edges, during a quick grab for the throttle I almost slit my wrist on the thing. But I put some tape over that part and it's fine now.

    Pros

    Aluminum construction seems very sturdy. 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.

    Cons

    The 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 Comments

    Overall, 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.

    It serves the intended purpose

    Cons

    the elastic strap wears quickly. Maybe could be replaced with a nylon strap/fastener?

    The pen holder clip does not maintain its shape and constantly loosens up, causing the pen to fall out.

    Great cockpit management tool. Clip can hold charts and board provides a stable surface to write on.

    Cons

    Clip can not hold approach plates and the pencil/pen holder is a little to large to reliably hold pencil or pen in place.

    General Comments

    Nice to write clearances on or just general information.
