How do you mount your tablet in your Skymaster?

I've been an Android/Avare user for years, but I'm considering buying a Mini and a Foreflight subscription, mainly for the icing level visible forecast products, and the additional ADS-B weather it displays in flight, such as lightning strikes. Avare only displays NEXRAD as an overlay. When FIS-B was updated in 2018 to include several new weather products, Avare never integrated them. Foreflight did, as you would expect a paid option to do.

I'm not familiar with the window arrangement on the P model, but regardless I don't think a full-size iPad would work in my spot. With the suction mount and the X-mount attached to it, there is just enough room between the window and the dash for the Mini.

I've been using Foreflight for years, and even on a basic subscription it is the best money I've ever spent on flying. Lately I've been using it in conjunction with Sirius XM, and having the real-time weather feeds is fantastic.

Well since you Canucks have no free ADS-B weather, SiriusXM is the only choice. It is a better weather product, no doubt, but the improvements are too marginal for me to justify spending $50/month on another subscription. Not to mention having to shell out for an XM receiver.

At the end of the day, its hard to beat "FREE"!

I use an iPad Air (A1954) and a yoke mount.

I like landscape, but mount also swivels to portrait mode.

Thanks for the pics so far! Keep 'em coming!

Here is my setup with ram mounts and a 10.1 in Samsung tablet

Here is my setup. Like I said the only downside is having to run the power cord across to the copilot's side for ship's power.

However, that is about to change this winter once the flying season is done
