Jay... I have a cheaper alternative.. I carry my "ships clock" on my
wrist..

Funny, that's what one of the wise old heads on the field said, while Darryl
was poking around: "Why in HELL do you need an electric CLOCK, for
Chrissakes? Doncha got a WATCH?"

I'm with Jay on this one. I had an old analog clock in my 152, it wasn't
working, and I tried using my watch for things, but I much prefer to have
the clock right up there in my scan. I installed the 800 Davtron as well,
which is pretty basic (wanted the one that had temperature and voltage as
well, but didn't like the additional $300 for it and who knows how much the
install would have been since there would be additional wiring) Just has
local time, GMT, and a timer but now that I have it and have flown with it
for a bit, I don't ever want to go back to that old analog clock or the
watch on my wrist.

$9 kitchen timer with velcro on the back. Big huge numbers. Loud alarm.
Homemade wooden wedge attached to panel of my Cherokee to fix it at a nice
viewable angle. Another strip of velcro on my knee board for when I fly
other planes. Works great. Less filling.
