Isn't there too much clutter and wires hanging all over in the cockpit...
where do you mount the tablet/ display

Not if you take the time to do some cable management. I basically made a
wiring harness to connect the various devices. I used spiral cable wrap and
worked things out so that there is only one cable bundle going to each
device. I routed the cable bundles so that they are out of the way, under
seats, etc. The bundles are velcroed to the carpet where appropriate. The
only cable bundle that comes into the working space of the cockpit is the
one that goes to the tablet. The tablet sits in my lap and has replaced my
kneeboard.
