    Pros

    Convenient, easy to use, simple, effective, portable from aircraft to aircraft, cheaper than any serious alternative.

    Cons

    The pointers are a bit fragile and easy to lose. Suction cup can come loose and fall off. Can make the instrument slightly hard to read if the pointer blocks one of the needles.

    General Comments

    Most effective when stuck on at altitude so that changes in air pressure work to make it stick harder. If you lose the pointer, you can make a new one instead of replacing the entire bug.

    Pros

    sticks well. pointer stays firmly in place

    Cons

    changing the pointer position is pretty much a two -hand operation: 1) to loosen the friction lock 2) to move the pointer. This renders it pretty much useless for any dynamic setting, such as and mda marker on your altimeter. I bought it to repace an avdex pointer, which is no longer available. I would rate it as a flunk in this application.

    If you are looking for a fixed speed bug on your airspeed indicator, this could work but in that application I would choose the small little bugs that stay to the outside edge of the glass.

    General Comments

    Need an altitude pointer that you can easily change with one hand. Avdex did this.

    In my case I use the cups on a R22 to set MP limits, it is a handy tool to have at hand--enables you to know if you're exceeding maximum MP with a single glance!

    Cons

    My CFI says that from his seat it is not that great of a reference.

    General Comments

    I recommend--provided you sit in front of the instrument!

    Needle is too stiff on suction cup. It would be better if it turned easier, but still was reliable, i.e., it stayed in place.
