Excellent kneeboard but bad quality control by Marcel from Naperville IL USA
Pros: well designed, easy to customize due to ring folder Cons: QUALITY CONTROL OF STICHING!, one little larger pocket to hold a thicker than tiny flashlight Review: The kneeboard is an excellent design. However after 5 times of use(!!!), the velcro to strap the board came loose. After having a careful look, I noticed that one of the sides (the most important one) has not been stiched at all, so it basically had to fail and was just a matter of time. I decided to restich the velcro properly and now it works just fine. My instructor happens to have the same kneeboard. His velcro is stiched properly. Bottom Line: excellent kneeboard and (basically) very robust design, but the people have to have a more careful eye on the quality control, if they don't want to get bad reputation...

Not for use in a 407 by Kevin from Fountain CO USA
Pros: Well made Cons: Interferes with cyclic in smaller airframes Review: Excellent product but the fixed ring system interferes with the cyclic in a Bell 407. I've used a loose ring kneeboard in a larger airframe for the past 16 years and thought the fixed ring was a good idea. I tried it for a few days and found I had to adjust the board to the side of my leg so as not to interfere with cyclic control. Pretty much defeated the purpose of using it and I went back to my old kneeboard.

Excellent, perfect for single pilot IFR organization by Gary C. from Fuquay Varina NC USA
Cons: I would prefer a quick connect buckle, versus velcro Review: I was very pleasantly surprised to find the ultimate kneeboard matched its title. A place for approach plates, checklists, writing surface in a space saving design. Flying a 2-seat RV-7 requires keeping charts, plates and maps in a convenient location and this fits perfectly.

Best Kneeboard Ever by Brian from Raleigh, NC
Pros: Nice place for pens, NOS bound chart strap, and plenty of room to upgrade and add protector sheets Cons: None Review: I have been flying for over 20 yrs and tried just about every kneeboard there is, and I found that this kneeboard far exceeds my expectations.

Simple, but effective. by Joel from Los Angeles CA USA
Pros: Effective, good quality, good size. Review: I don't know what one can put about a kneeboard, as they're pretty simple. What I can say is that this particular kneeboard is effective at what it does. The quality is high. An improvement I'd like to see is to have the pen/pencil holder be vertical rather than horizontal. I'd also like to see the back of the kneeboard (with the top clip) a bit wider, so it can hold standard width pages without overlap.

Worked as I thought it would by A Customer from Random Lake WI USA
Pros: Works the way I need it to Cons: Would be nice to have a hard surface when pages are flipped Review: After my dual cross country training, I was looking for a good kneeboard that could also help keep things organized. I liked the ring binder approach since I knew things would not be falling all over. I've used it since on solo cross countries and it works very well for me. The binder holds electronic sectional chart "pages" that are printed at 8.5x11 and folded to fit the kneeboard. During flight the pages then unfold across the other knee. As long as I stay to the course it saves from having the full sectional getting in the way. I then have my flight planning sheet with waypoints, etc. in the binder as well and finally airport diagrams. This allows me to flip pages around as needed in an orderly manner. The side pocket works well for pen and flashlight

Good Product except.... by Ryan from Honolulu, HI
Pros: Useful pockets, size is good Cons: Fixed rings get in way of controls Review: The wide leg strap is great and doesn't put much pressure on your leg. Originally I flew a C172 and the kneeboard fit perfectly. Recently I've been flying a Diamond DA-40 with the control stick between your legs movement you hit the kneeboard when moving the stick low and right. I think it's only because I have the fixed ring version, it might be better with the loose rings.

Super Product by Adam from Plantation FL USA
Pros: Well Made Review: I am a new pilot, but have tested and played with various kneeboards before. This kneeboard is small, compact, and fits perfectly. Holds all my pens, pencils, charts, and other gizmos. Generic Franklin Covey (franklincovey.com) sheets fit in the binder, so replenishing with various organization sheets and pockets is easy.

The Name Says It All by Scott from Satellite Beach FL USA
Pros: Does not get in the way of the controls Review: Being a new Helicopter Pilot I searched and searched for a good knee board and bought many. I heard about The Ultimate knee board and one of my instructors had one so I bought it. What a difference. By far the best. I recommend the fixed ring verson. Thats all.

Awsome by B-Rad from Sacromento
Review: This was the ultimate kneeboard, i couldnt say anything better but it works great. I have had many other kneeboards and could never find the right one to keep everything orginized in the helicopter. But the U/N was the answer.

Don't waste your money on anything else by A Customer from Reno, NV
Review: Excellent product.
No fumbling for what you need and everything is secure in it's place. If you like to be organized this is the one for you. If you like to have one clip that everything needs to tuck under...get something else.
