I have installed the iLevil on the lnstrument panel floor, carefully aligned and
shimmed to level flight attitude. I use flyQ and the combination works very
well for VFR. We do use 2 aging ipads for redundancy.
I'm reserving the space on the right center of the panel for the ultimate
installation
of a Grand Rapids or other unit in case I decide to get IFR current in
the future.
We flew to Wyoming from Vermont, for the eclipse and found glare to be a
non-issue.
A small angle adjustment of the RAM mount always cured it. I recommend
RAM mounts without reservation.
