    Pros

    Love the BIG number and flasshing red lights to mark the end of the approach time. Since I tend to fly the same approach more than once in a session, the auto reset is great.

    Cons

    I find the unit a little awkward to set when in the air. In turbulence setting the timers can be a bit challenging.

    General Comments

    Overall, one of the best I've found. The price is reasonable.

    Easy to use. I really like the visual cues that time's expired.

    Cons

    I read the reviews that said the clip was too weak and agree with them. The first time I used it, it had slipped off my clipboard and under the seat before I even got airborne. Not a huge deal. I now use velcro to give me options for attachment.

    General Comments

    Great timer. Bad clip. Since I attach it with velcro, it works well for me.

    Backlighting is supposed to automatically turn off after a few seconds; does not work, it must be turned off manually. Also, display gets washed out in bright sunlight

    Pros

    Easy to set up and use. Backlighting works great for night flights. Dual leds highly visible, even in daytime. Beeper actually usable in a cockpit with headset on. Battery life good. Economical and highly functional.

    Cons

    When clock is displayed, one accidental touch of the 'zero' button clears the clock completely - unnecessary, aggravating, and useless. I will never need to zero the clock, the timers, perhaps, but never the clock. Backlighting toggles with the on/off button. The backlight is almost impossible to see in daylight which can accidently leave the light on, running the batteries down overnight. These things really need to be corrected to make a good product much better.

    General Comments

    All things considered, it is a functional, useful tool in the cockpit with a modest price. Some minor changes could make this an excellant product.

    Cons

    Shipping and handling costs are excessive. Gives one a good reason to find another vendor.

    General Comments

    I work with many vendors daily and it quickly becomes clear which vendors do their homework on giving customers the best value when it comes to shipping costs. There is another group of vendors who will give good value on their products but forget or choose to ignore that the value the end customer sees is the cost inclusive of shipping and handling.

    Display is large and the backlighting of the display AND the buttons is great at night.

    Cons

    Hitting the Zero button when on a clock display zeros all the times out. Not that big of an issue...I just try to remember not to hit Zero when on the clock display.

    General Comments

    Switching between the 2 timers makes it nice when timing waypoints as well as the total flight. So far, so good.

    Very readable, easy to use.

    Cons

    If zero button is pushed while in anyone of the three clock modes the time of day will zero. This requires resetting the clock.
    I called Sporty's, thinking I had a faulty unit and they said that was the way it was.
    Just have to be careful not to accidentally hit the zero button.

    Good size, buttons are large and spaced well to allow use in less than ideal conditions. Easy to read numbers, lighting good.

    Cons

    Clip is not good, won't stay on knee board. Battery life is poor. If you leave the batteries in, they will drain over night even when turned off. I guess the clock is draining the power, because the timers and back light are not on.

    General Comments

    I will probably send mine back and look for something that I can leave batteries in. Otherwise, not a bad timer.
