Does anyone own a zuluboard kneeboard and if so, how do you like it?

Thanks
in advance!


Do you see a lot of professional pilots using kneeboards? Does your
instructor use one?

IMHO any kneeboard is worse than no kneeboard. The kneeboard is a solution
in search of a problem.

I write notes on a small spiral notepad, preferably with a pen. Everything
else goes into a little bag or a pocket where I can reach it when I need it.
There is absolutely no need to have everything spread out in front of you
all of the time. A simple clipboard is sufficient for your cross country
navigation log.

As Rod Machado points out, a pilot still needs a few kneeboards for the
kneeboard clapping dances we do during our secret rituals in abandoned
hangars at night. These should be large and heavy and hard so as to make the
maximum clapping noise.
