Take a look at this thread. Scroll down and you'll find a pics of an iFly tablet cradle installation. It is bulky. https://adventurepilot.community.forum/threads/why-would-i-want-to-buy-an-ifly-tablet-and-what-about-waas.386/

Thank you. That answers a lot of questions I have about what it would take to mount it in my plane.

I assume you cut a hole in the panel to make it work. Would you mind sharing a pic of how that looks on your panel?

I too have been a 740b user and have been trying to get feedback on the new tablet. My argument for the iFly tablet over an iPad would be daylight readability in the cockpit and heat tolerance. One of the 740b's main benefits was its bright screen and the fact that it didn't overheat and...

So I guess we are left to speculation right now about how it well it works and integrates into the cockpit. I'm sure the tablet itself will be fine so that leaves, for me at least, the question of integration in the cockpit. One thing I just noticed is that the docking station uses a RAM mount...

In December I asked if there were any PIREPS on the new iFly tablet and got nary a response. Can anyone share their impressions after using it a while? I want it to replace a Garmin 795 but before I rip out the panel mount on the Garmin to replace it, I'd like to get some feedback on the iFly...

My plane came equipped with a Garmin 795 and a GDL50. I've been using it along side my 740B. I have to say I think the iFly hands down is my preferred GPS. So much more flexibility and ease of use. I've never had Garmin navigation equipment before but it seems overly engineered to me. It looks...

Is anyone flying with the iFly tablet yet? If so, what are your impressions so far?

Has anyone parsed the data from the flight logs (.log files) to pull out ground speeds. If so can you tell me what position it is in? I'd like to put it in a spreadsheet and do some of my own calculations. Here is a sample: $GPRMC,073342,A,3611.7169,N,08735.9634,W,075.0,294.0,081023,0,E*73...

Looks promising. I'd like it to replace a Garmin 790 with a similar panel mounted bracket with the iFly. Any idea yet what all the connectors are for? I think I see an RS232 but what are the others?

What is the latest on the new tablet based iFly?

Interesting idea.

Garmin has a mount that allows you to hang a 795 GPS nearly flush against the panel without cutting a large hole in it like you need to do with an Air Gizmo mount. Maybe one of you ingenious people out there with a 3D printer could come up with something like that for the iFly 740 or the new pad...

Will the 740 fit it? I seemed to remember the Air Gizmo mount didn't quite work with the 740 or you had to do something to make it work.

Is anyone aware if someone has 3D printed or otherwise created a cradle for the 740b that would mount flush against the panel. I've seen people use velcro but that is kind messy if you want to take it off.
