Ok...after being a long term skydemon user, I've finally gone and bought an iPad mini just so I can run skydemon on my knee and do my flight planning anywhere!

Things are a little different between ipad and pc but two things are really bugging me.

First one is despite putting in my home airfield in the planning options, why does it keep showing 'truleigh hill' airfield as my route starting point when I do 'route' and 'create a route' from the top menu?

Second, on TAF and METAR tabs is there any way of turning off the decoded view and have it default to the much quicker to read and understand (for me) Raw view? I just can't get on with decoded view..

I'm loving the iPad version!

I use the same RAM mount (universal gps holder) as I did with my 5 inch chinese device, Just removed the side claws, and stuck a bit of velcro onto the mini. It holds it perfectly.

But, my birthday is looming and I'll be getting this which is due for release in a few weeks.

I've already got the yoke mount arm (part number RAM-B-121B)and extention arm (part number RAP-B-201) that will be also be needed to attach it to the yoke

Hope this helps
