These things don't really care if they are perfectly level or not. My laptops would have stopped working long ago if that was the case. I think I'll make up a nice little open top polymer box for inside the cabin for something like the Shuttle, as soon as I figure out exactly where I'd stick the monitor and whether it would work OK there. -- "There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you.
