It's out under the wing, next to one of the inspection panels, far enough to be

I spoke with SteinAir this week about the new heated AOA and in discussion I learned
that when installing a static port it cannot be flush or you will get false
readings. The port must be proud even if a fraction.

I'm in the market for a new iPad to run Foreflight. Any suggestions/opinions?

Since this is a RV-10 forum, I'll assume you want to use it in a -10 or at least
an airplane with a stick.
I just couldn't get comfortable with a full size iPad. I'm short, so I sit close
to the stick, and it got in the way unless I used two hands to hold the iPad
up or away. OTOH an iPad mini is just right for me. Portrait mode, on my right
thigh. Just large enough to read approach plates without zooming (I wear bifocals).
My mini has gps and wifi, the latter used to couple to a Skyradar ADSB-in
box. The gps is nice to get geo-referencing on the charts.
Foreflight vs WingX: As you probably know Foreflight will only couple to a Stratus
box, WingX works with a bunch of ADSB boxes. WingX uses more data compression,
so memory size is not important. If you run Foreflight you will need an iPad
mini with extra memory.
disclaimer: as a CFI I get WingX for free. However, even before it was free, I
paid for it.

Jeff
This is a very personal decision in that everyone has to sort out what works for
them. A few weeks ago I canvasses for opinions and ultimately landed on an IPAD
AIR 2. For me the large size is great.
As I am in Canada, I need to get XM weather as ADSB is not available here (except
in the far north).
I use Fltplan.Com on the IPAD as it gives me all the US and CANADA maps and approach
plates for free and supports XM weather. It also supports a few ADSB receivers
so I would check this out if that is what you plan to use.
I also picked up a MYGOFLIGHT mount for the IPAD that I plan to install in a couple
of weeks. It will allow the IPAD to be secured up and to my right for easy
viewing and access.
If you can, try to borrow a large and small IPAD and see what works best for you.
I would also check out FLTPLAN.COM and its IPAD app.
Cheers
Les

I'll fill in with my 2 cents. Unlike Bob, I'm tall, but I don't
know how much that matters. I like the full size one myself.
I think the mini that my daughter has does an OK job too. It all
depends on how you use it. I hand mine off to someone or set it
on the seat next to me if I'm alone. So it doesn't get in the way
for me, and I only use it when I need it.
Regarding hardware, my advice is to buy bigger (more GB of capacity)
than you need, for future growth, because you don't want to have to
upgrade if your apps take up more space. Also, always get one
with cellular capability, just for the GPS. And, I'd say go with
one of the newer models...better performance and displays. If
you are thinking of buying soon, I'd wait a few weeks. All the
new stuff should be announced next week. So delay a purchase for
a month or so.
Bob's right that the stratus ads-b only works with foreflight.
But there is an exception. I think FlyQ hacked the interface
and now supports the stratus also. I have Foreflight, WingX,
and FlyQ. WingX is my current favorite, but the almost released
FlyQ 2.0 (maybe it's even released already) is getting it closer
to catching up. It works pretty well. I get no benefits from
any of the apps, as I'm not a CFI nor get any kickbacks. But I
buy them all. Foreflight is the nicest one that has iphone
integration if that means anything to you. WingX I find is best
for IFR flying. My hope is that with just a couple more additions
to FlyQ, that it can become the favorite, because I get the most
bang for the buck with FlyQ and have a lifetime subscription.
But for right now at this point in time, I prefer WingX.
It would be hard to give up Foreflight on the iphone though, so
I may maintain the non-pro subscription to that one too...we'll see.

1) wait until after the 9th when a (unofficial ) new iPad is being released.
That will reduce pricing on older models and give another option.
2) get a iPad Air not a mini, I found the mini easier to handle but the iPad
easier to read charts and the extra features in the foreflight.
I use FltPlan GO but think foreflight offers more hence the iPad Air . For s
ure I am happy with electric charts and features.

I should have been clearer about my preference for the mini.
I use the electronic device for approach charts, and, when doing approaches without
the autopilot (I do have one but feel I should be able to hand fly) I do
not have a free hand to hold the iPad. I want the chart on my leg or lap, and
the full size iPad doesn't fit. Otherwise, the full size would be fine and in
point of fact I do have and use an original iPad when vfr, someone else is flying,
etc.

I looked at this. For me, personally, I felt there was some interference with right

Have any of you utilized the version of Hartwell latch (for your oil cooler
door) that is available from Spruce?
It looks like they only sell one model, with one offset, and I'm curious to
know how well that offset worked for you.
