Ted,

I wear a home made knee board kind of thing. It's just cobbled
together from sheet aluminum, velcro-tape and a velcro-belt.

Here are a couple pictures:

As far as looking down too much... don't. I mean, it's a matter
of training. I had to train myself not to stare at the instruments.

Since my original posting on this topic, I've purchased an HP iPaq 5555
and
a NavMan 4400 wireless GPS. I've got those two working great together on
the
ground, but have yet to test them in the air.

I haven't yet flown with them because I currenty fly rental sailplanes,
usually a Pilatus B-4, where there's no mount for the iPaq. It's easy to
tuck the GPS receiver somewhere (or even leave it in my pocket), but I
have
no place to put the iPaq.

Does anyone make a device that lets me wear it on my leg, above me knee?

What have other pilots done in this situation?

The iPaq H5xxx models have a larger display than any of the other
current iPaqs. However they have inadequate audio sound level. The
H3xxx models also had the large display and had good audio. Look for
a H3950 or the new H5150. '

Regardless of the iPaq model you will need one of the Boxwave
"Cleartouch" antireflective films as sold by Craggyaero.com, along
with an efficient 5v power supply from the glider battery. A mouse
type GPS could be useful, like the Garmin G35HVS (12 volts).

Paul Remde has a good selection of bits and advice on his site

DeLorme

with it?

| If not, what advice would you offer regarding iPac (or other
