Abstract
Disclosed is an electronics device holder made to be mountable on an aircraft control stick arrangement. The holder enables two dimensions of rotation. Rotation clockwise and counterclockwise is provided by a disk on which the holder is mounted. The disk edges are trapped underneath a containing plate. Friction enables the disk, and thus, the holder to be held in different circular positions. A friction hinge is used to establish and hold different pitch positions for the electronics device.
