Turn your kneeboard around where the spring clip is on the bottom. That way you can fold the paper down vice up and the pen pocket will be to the rear. I do that with mine, I prefer how it keeps the paper better organized.
It's not that I don't like it, it's just not applicable/necessary in my cockpit (I don't use finger lights, lip lights or chem lights either). Seems like most of the proponents are helo guys, so if it works for them - that's great. Can I ask how many you had made and what percentage you've sold thus far and whether the demand/profit warrants a second production run? I understand if you don't want to divulge those specifics of your business, but it does interest me.Thanks for the feedback everyone.
nittany03, you are the first to mention any issue with traps and the 9G/NVP combo is pretty popular. Perhaps it would be worth placing the pen somewhere else during the trap for your situation.
Brett327 I am sorry it isn't to your liking. The features were built based upon what I and several other NSAWC staff members of all platforms wanted. It isn't for everyone, but a vast majority of users do find it to be a better option compared to previous gear: fingerlights, lip lights, and chem lights.

Is your cockpit bright enough with instrument lights to not need any other light source, or are you an old school grimes light guy?
Grimes works fine for me, but I shut everything off when I push from marshal.Is your cockpit bright enough with instrument lights to not need any other light source, or are you an old school grimes light guy?
Grimes is way too bright and hard to keep aimed if you are flying in my experience in a couple different airframes.Grimes works fine for me, but I shut everything off when I push from marshal.
