Don't waste your money
- By A Customer on Friday, February 03, 2012
- Pros: Clip holds checklists well and is small and unobtrusive
- Cons: Bad design as far as mounting the clip to the yoke
- Review: Either you will not be able to tighten this thing enough to prevent it from spinning down sideways under weight, or you'll tighten it too much and break the rubber band. The rubber band broke on this one rendering it useless. This clip is a terrible design because it is very difficult to attach without having to mess around with it for five minutes.

Good design, but not very functional.
- By Pilot Mike from Boston, MA on Monday, June 08, 2009
- Pros: Sturdy
- Cons: Can't hold anything weighing more than a single piece of paper.
- Review: This product is a great idea, getting things out of the way an in the pilot's line of sight. The mechanism that secures the clip to the yoke is great, and works well. However, the clip itself is rather week. By itself, it can't hold up more than a single piece of paper. The jaws are entirely plastic, and have no grip. The spring that closes the jaws is so weak, and won't hold an IFR flight planner, book of approach plates, or anything lighter than a single piece of paper. If you wrap elastic bands around the jaws it works a little better, but I thought the whole point of buying this was for it to hold stuff, and it doesn't. Overall, not worth it. Invest in a better one.

Not recommended for my aircraft.
- By A Customer from Trappe PA USA on Thursday, April 30, 2009
- Pros: It didn't break.
- Cons: Not very compatible for my Sierra.
- Review: I own a Beech Sierra and the yoke rod tapers near the control. The fit is not very good. In addition the clip does not hold a small ring binder for my check list. I guess it should be used for one or two pages of charts.
