For the last several years I have flown using a 3850 iPAQ with a PCcard
jacket and a PCcard GPS card installed and a suction cup mount. This
allows me to switch between club planes.

Be cautious parking in direct sun with a suction cup on the canopy. I have
seen suction cups cause round areas of crazed plastic. (This was not on a
RAM suction cup.)

This crazing may have been caused by differential heating, with the suction
cup area getting hotter than the surrounding plastic, or it may have been
caused by aromatics leaching out of the suction cup material.

If this is a concern, one might consider putting reflective (aluminum or SS)
where the suction cup is to go.
