Flyboys IFR VFR Kneeboard - Blue

Just an overpriced kneeboard for the price. Very flimsy, flexible and too small for those with thick thighs.

Very well made out of sturdy materials. At 6'2" as passenger in a Cessna 150, room is precious. This worked well for keeping notes and reviewing maps while doing aerial telemetry searches. Adding 2 metal rings, and a zippered pouch designed for a similarly sized 3-ring binder worked well for keeping extra notes and pens and pencils. The wide leg band was comfortable and secure on my large leg. It would grip a smaller leg well too. The velcro flap pocket is handy for spare AA batteries for my handheld GPS. The long slash pocket on the right was handy for a quick reference printed map. The pen holder barely accomodated my large Sharpie pen (about 7/16" / 1 cm diameter). The notepad clip's raised center worked well as a place to clip my pen. The clip securely held my 5" x 8" notepad. The thick vinyl strap with velcro was nice to secure a folded note under my notepad. Two patches of scratchy hook closure ("Velcro" rough side) on the underside seem designed to keep it neatly folded when not being worn. Fine on my duck pants, but would be uncomfortable wearing shorts. A couple of pieces of loop velcro, or fabric that sticks to the hook patches would alleviate that discomfort. I don't think the velcro deserves dinging a star. It is nice for storage.

Exceptional quality of manufacture, nice fitting and well equipped to handle most requirements of IFR and VFR pilots. Very satisfied with the product.

Like I said it looks bigger in the pictures than it is in person. I expected something that would fit a regular IPad but this is more for the mini, despite this I think this product is something I will fly with as it will be ideal for copying clearances in flight while leaving my electronic flight bag on the map setting.

Nothing truly unique or special. Simple product that works great. Great value for the money. Can't complain and would recommend.

Great product, this knee board is an upgrade over my previous one as it is flexible enough that I can position it so it doesn't interfere with my Cherokee's bowtie yoke. The pocket is a good place for keeping the key, the pen holder is a great location and doesn't interfere with the controls yet is easy access . The strap is handy for keeping charts and checklists in place while walking around and probably the best discovery was that when paired with a pair of Duluth Firehose cargo pants the Velcro is in a perfect location so the Velcro on the back of the knee board sticks to the Velcro for the flap of the cargo pocket on the pants and you can walk around, fuel up, and probably do jumping jacks without the knee board falling down to your ankle.
