    Price point is good.

    Cons

    Considering the actual size is smaller then you think and the build quality is cheap (rivet already fell off), I'd look for an alternative.

    General Comments

    This product should be a bit bigger and have a tab on the inner sleeve so you don't have to peel it apart to use it.

    It's a great idea, but needs to be re-manufactured / designed to better specs.

    Straight forward calculator.

    Cons

    You would think that this could be of some value but the practical application of it once you add in the variable of wind makes it an non-essential tool.

    I can even use it in the cockpit when an unfamiliar approach needs to be set up. I put the 45 degree entry heading into the GPS OBS window and fly for it to make an entry to an uncontrolled airport.

    Cons

    The one Sporty's sent me was defective; the printing was misaligned. When I got in touch with ASA they sent me one straightaway.

    This thing is easy to use and accurate. It is lightweight and fits just about anywhere yet the numbers a legible.

    I expected a little more substantial construction for the price, but it works as advertised and does the job.

    Pros

    Good idea for fast determination of airport approach headings.

    Cons

    Numerals were too small for easy reading, especially with sunglasses on. Most numbers (downwind, final, etc) ... lined up correctly, but a segment of headings did not. A little expensive for what it is.

    I am just getting back to flying after 35 years. Sometimes traffic patterns can be like confusing. This is a handy pocket item ro cut down on confusion in the traffic pattern.

    Cons

    Not easy to set. Set before you take off.

    With limitations, functions as advertised

    Cons

    Requires both hands to work. Very overpriced. Fair value would be closer to $7.00. It is only a two second aid at the kitchen table while flight planning. Print numbers too small to read in even slight turbulance

    General Comments

    When needed, a navigational aid should work as an aid, not a challenge. Product has a sound concept, but seems to be more interested in making money vs. assisting pilots.

    As an older student this allowed me better situational awareness by allowing me to understand the runway and pattern orientation based upon my heading. The wheel is small and easy to use and fits in a flight bag with no problems.

    Cons

    None to speak of.

    Pros

    shows pattern headings.

    Cons

    Shows 45 degree entry but does not point to the heading numbers. You have to compute the reciprical.
    Requires two hands to turn the disk because both sides spin. You have to hold the middle disk with one hand and turn an outer disk with the other!
