Honestly, that would work perfectly for me. Actually attaching the thing to my leg is the most annoying thing in the world and all I use is the clip board part of the thing anyway. Hell, I even use it to hold approach plates too. I used a yoke mounted plate holder in 222 but used the clip board in 325. SO much easier for me. It's a little bit annoying flipping up the chart all the time to write stuff and to look at stuff you wrote down, but overall I felt it was easier. I think it was mainly because the yoke clips suck hard in pipers since they hold the approace plate funny. Makes it next to impossible to read at night.

Yes, that post is a mess. It's late.
