Pros
Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Just did a XC flight and it most definitely came in handy. It is rugged and was able to take the beating of me taking it off and on throughout my flight. I'm sure it will be staying in my flight bag for quite a while.

After one use, the "attached" foam backing strips came off. Turns out they were only attached with double-sided tape. Very cheap!!!

After using more complex kneeboards for years, I'm back to the simplicity of just a solid writing surface and loving it. The other stuff was just "clutter."

Pros
This is my second kneeboard of this type. I have tried others and returned to this one, needing a new one because the elastic wrap stretched out eventually after 10 years and wouldn't stay put. It is simple, straight forward, the information printed on the board is helpful, I always file my flight plans with it in hand. The squawk code info was very beneficial when I lost communications early in my flying career.

Pros
If you want a basic, easy-to-use kneeboard, this fits the bill. Easy to strap on and stable when writing, has useful VFR or IFR quick reference, in-the air-information at your fingertips. I have enough to look at on my panel, so just wanted a simple kneeboard for the approach plates and notes. I am enjoying mine!
Cons
None.
General Comments

Pros
Just what I expected. It provides a good writing surface, I do not spend time looking for my pen because it is in its clip. I can place my approach charts on the kneeboard and not have to try to hold another large book in my lap.
Cons
I am left handed so the kneeboard is right next to the door making it a little awkward.

Pros
Nothing fancy, nothing complicated, just a good sturdy kneeboard. With limited clearance between my thigh and control yoke, this works perfectly.
Cons
It could use a bit more foam on the back to keep it from slipping.

Have not used a knee board in a very long time. Flew with the one I purchased from Sporty's IFR the other day and it is nice to have organizer for the enroute charts, copying clearances and approach plate.
Highly recommend this product.
