[cool][#0000ff]Now you got it, except for one thing. Any pic that you want to put in the main body of the post, and not just attach, should be no larger than 400 pixels wide. Your is 562. Not a hanging offense, but makes it easy for folks to read without having to move the post back and forth to read it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I haven't used the 240, but the specs are good. If you get a set of rechargeable batteries, they should do the job and last long enough to make it a good investment. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Yes, I mount my display in the front pocket. I have gone through a whole bunch of different mounting bases and materials. I currently use a simple 6" piece of 2"X4" wood. I can only get two of the mounting screws in it, through the base mount, but that is enough. You simply position it so that it faces the right direction before drilling and screwing.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]If you do not have such a pocket, I have also used nylon straps to secure the base, and then attach the display unit after launching. I have seen some "exotic" creations for mounting bases. Some of them include a half cord of wood in their construction. Not necessary. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Too bad the Norcross unit was a disappointment. But, it does reinforce my admonition to always try before you buy...whenever possible.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Wood River craft are good. I have never owned the Glide Rider, but I know a couple of happy owners of the now discontinued Stealth Riders. You can doll up any of them by utilizing the existing D rings or adding straps or D rings where necessary. PVC, nylon straps or ropes and some creativity is all you need.[/#0000ff]
