It'll do if you can't find exactly what you want. by Hal from Terrell TX USA
Pros: Not the worse knee board on the market. Lots of fixed wing drivers use/like this one. Light/compact. Cons: Kinda pricey for what it is. Review: Pretty much what I expected. I use it flying a Bell 407 and the cockpit is narrow, even for small to medium sized pilots. I think it would be better if the rings were on the right so the pages opened toward the door and not toward and onto the cyclic control when worn on the right leg. As for the leg strap, I would prefer a plastic fastener/buckle instead of the minimal hook and loop (Velcro) fastener. May try wearing it upside down so the rings are on the right. That might keep the clipboard from working out of position. The page protectors are a nice feature. Returning pencils/pens and small flashlights to their elastic keepers can be a challenge in the dark with one hand-maybe after the newness wears off a bit. Just personal preferences-I didn't throw it in the trash.

Great, but wish there was a lefty option by Katheryn from Fort Rucker
Pros: Rings, folders, easy access to all necessary documents Cons: Not as easy to use for lefties, forces the kneeboard to be "upside-down" and somewhat inconvenient to use Review: I love the rings, the plastic folders, and the loose leaf sheets to go with it. I love how it has pen / pencil holders and the plastic strap to hold sheets around the middle of the board. I don't love how it only sits on the right leg in one direction or the left leg in another. One way is clearly "upside-down," and this makes it somewhat difficult to set up in a way that is comfortable. However, this is not an insurmountable obstacle, and the kneeboard overall is well worth the money spent.

Best Kneeboard I've ever owned....Period! by Hank from Pleasanton CA USA
Review: I've numerous kneeboards over the years and this the best year. Fits my leg comfortably and very flexible. I really like the sleeves and ability to change out information cards. I used it on my CFII checkride three weeks ago...worked perfectly! Thanks Hank CFII ASEL

Good but..... by Christopher from Dunedin FL USA
Review: The kneeboard works fine but the adjustment appears to be for someone with much 'larger' legs than I have. Maybe the fact that I am flying in Florida and in shorts has something to do with it but I find the 'fit' too lose.

Nice and small by Deborah from Atlanta GA USA
Pros: Small, compact, well designed Cons: Clipboard is a little tight Review: I like this kneeboard because it's very compact (as a female pilot, that counts!). The side panel that wraps around your leg is very conveniently designed for pencils, etc., and the ring binders are comfortable. My only criticism is the clipboard part. Because the clipboard inserts into the nylon pocket on the kneeboard, there's a ridge right below where you want to clip - still usable, but not totally smooth. Just be sure to have a couple of layers of paper and it's fine, though!
