Piloto Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) I have my Samsung S7 with Garmin Pilot mounted on the sun visor with Velcro Strip. Very convenient and cheap, $3 for the Velcro strips. This location allows for improved internet reception for WX and texting. On approach is like having a heads up display. I have the same set up in my car and works great when using the GPS on the road. José Edited April 21, 2017 by Piloto 2 Quote

I currently fly a Cessna 140, so I'm quite used to using ForeFlight on my phone. I sat in the Mooney last night with hopes that my ipad Pro 9.6 would work well in the new cockpit, but it looks like I'm going to have to buy a mini. Quote

helitim Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 It's been several months since the install so I can't remember off hand. Next time I am at the airport I will try to remember and look for the manufacturer and get back to you. Quote

Please take a picture, if its the one Im thinking of it's nice but of course you need an entire free stack to fit in. Quote
helitim Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 Yes, it does take a bit of free space. That was one of the reasons I chose the GTX 345R. Quote

xcrmckenna Posted August 28, 2017 Report Posted August 28, 2017 Still playing with positioning but it works. Two minis. One on foreflight and the other running IFD100 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
milotron Posted August 28, 2017 Report Posted August 28, 2017 Nice. I did not like mine on the yoke. It hits my knees. I have 3" pedal extensions and am 6'2" and too lazy to have them removed. I do like the mounting on the co-joe yoke. i was considering the same for approach plates, taxi diagrams, etc. Have you or anyone considered mounting to the hand held microphone bracket? iain Quote
ArtVandelay Posted August 28, 2017 Report Posted August 28, 2017 I tried the microphone bracket, it bothered me on landings, also it was more exposed to the sun, which either caused it to overheat or causes glare depending on direction. YMMV Quote
