I have to plug the trifolds myself (I have the one from Sporty's). Once
you unfold it (preflight), it hugs your leg. In the right pocket are
charts, baby plotter and checklist. Center is notepad, flight plan,
pencil loops and VFR info chart (with blank flight plan forms in the
pocket behind the clip board). Left side is A/FD, METER/TAF codes,
JeppGuide airport diagram (single pages) and E6B under the straps.
Doesn't get in the way for me, and I don't need to have passengers hold
stuff.
