My brand new Calidus is waiting for me at my training school, already since a few months. I was so busy at work that I didn't bring it at my local airport, knowing perfectly that I will get the itch to fly it as soon as possible.
Now, I'm ready. I will bring the baby at the beginning of April, but still have an issue to solve. I've ordered a RAM mount bracket to put an iPad/iPhone on the dashboard. Auto-Gyro told me it will be totally useless because the full standard canopy (with no sunroof) will bring too much light to make it readable. I've search a bit and found that the reflection on the glass may be more an issue than the lack of backlit in the Apple device. I've ordered an iPad 3rd generation since it's suppose to have a more intense back lighting system, but I'm not really sure it will work.
So does anybody try to use an iPad/iPhone in a Calidus or in any open gyro and what can you suggest to improve the readability of the screen?
Thanks,
Maher
