I use a 7" Nexus 7 on my lap, wouldn't want to mount that (would obstruct visibility too much). Might try a yoke mount sometime. 10" a la iPad etc. are just too big for the average spamcan cockpit IMO (although I know people do use them). So in summary, if you want to mount it on a window, 5", if you want it in your lap, 7". Andy
