 Bill -
 
 I was looking at the LS800 from MOtion Computing. They do not have the  1400
any more. The 1600 took its place. If I were to do it over again, I  would
seriously consider the 800. It would be at least twice the size  screen of the
Garmin 530 and the 395. So it would be a good size. The  problem there, like
Bryan's, is that the hard drive would be going south  at about 10 to 11K feet.
The air is too thin to provide a cushion for  those heads. They hit the disks
and there goes  the drive. In fact, Motion  now lists an altitude limit on the
1600 and 800 as: 10,000 ft. Check their  website www.motioncomputing.com
 
 My WXWorx receiver works well sitting on the hatshelf. But that is without
 any seats installed and not flying yet. The bigger problerm is that the BT
 connection is frequently lost and it is hard to get back sometimes. We did
 wire in a switch near the front so that we can cycle the unit off then on
 the reboot the WxWorx receiver.
 
 Several manufacturers make holders for the tablet PC's. I have a couple of
 websites if you are interested. I'll probably mount one on the fuel selector
cover that runs from the bulkhead to the floorboards under the  rudder pedals.
It will be a multi axis pedestal and a holder that I would  velcro to the
cover of the Motion 1400. The cover snaps to the back of the  computer when
the tablet is in use.
 
 Hope this helps.
