I love to fly, and I use a flight simulator to stay in the air while I can't exactly be in the air. When I'm in the cockpit, I use Foreflight on my iPad, but it's harder to look down at my lap on a flight simulator. So, I made these little mounting clips to hold my iPad upright while I'm using my simulator. They keep my iPad tilted back at about 13° and allow me to focus on my screen without having to constantly look away. In addition to Foreflight, I'm able to use apps like Air Manager, if I want to work more on VFR and just keep my gauges up without buying 20 of those ridiculous little displays at $170 a piece. (6 of those cost way more than an iPad, and are far more limited.)

They're great little mounting clips, and I figure others would be interested as well. They fit any Saitek-style mounting, and probably a lot more, as they're only a single screw. Pictured are the clips on my Saitek/Logitech yoke, and my Honeycomb Alpha yoke.
