Well, how about it? What did everyone buy for their plane, or for your
renting planes, this year at OSH?

How is you purchase working out? Satisfied, or disappointed?

I was down in the tent market with my son and saw something that
looked like a good idea. I'll call it a wrist writing tablet since I
don't know the name. It is really pretty nice. Has roll of paper on
two small reels that you can roll across a flat writing surface (about
2.5" tall by 1.5" wide). It also has a mechanical pencil that slides
into one of the reels. You use the velcro wrap to attach to your
wrist. With this gadget, you now have an endless writing surface and
pencil at hand at all times. I still find knee pad best for quickly
jotting down clearances, but love having all in route and
destination / alternate airport info on the scroll - you can just roll
your way through to find what you need. Came with 2 pencils (will use
regular mechanical pencil with tape on the end if you lose it) and 5
rolls of paper for $20. I've used it on 3 x-countries already and
really like it. Guy who designed it is a carpenter and he said he got
tired of always reaching for a pencil and paper. To look at it, you'd
think it was designed by a pilot.
