    Hello from So Florida - any iPad mounting solutions?

    Hi Erik, I have tried a bunch of them and RAM is my favourite. Yoke mount, iPad mini mount, ball mount for back of iPad mini mount and a short socket to connect them.

    N112bm

    I do have to chuckle at the 'minor damage' notation on the report. That is FAR from minor damage however relative to what could have gone wrong I guess so..... the steps did their job as grinding pegs....

    Much needed air therapy

    Jealous. Some time we have summers that have summer VFR on the weekdays and IFR on the weekends and sometimes the other way around. Still being a working stiff I live for the weekends and it has been a grind to get up !

    New Member interested in acquiring a Commander

    Hi Steve, welcome to the group. We have a straight 112 and our mission is very similar to yours. Although I get performance envy when I read of the TN and TC (or 114) models, our straight 112 does the job all the time. They are not a unicorn when it comes to getting parts any more than any...

    New Member from Australia

    I ended up purchasing some 1/2" x 1/2" square aluminum extrusion, cut two pieces 2" long, drilled a hole slightly larger than the rod that comes out of the seat and threaded/tapped/inserted a set screws. Slide the piece over the rod and tighten the set screw. A Plan B if you cannot find...
