Sporty's altimeter bug
When I had my 180, we bought one of those spinning altitude bugs for the
altimeter. It sticks onto the face & has 3 pointers that track around the edge. You set the red pointer on your DH or MDA and you get 500' 200-100' callout reminders. Pretty nice for IFR flying. Well, I just ordered another one for the Six, but when I got it, the paper that you're supposed to "peel" off the back, was already off. The ring of the bug is a bit tacky, but I don't know if it will stay stuck to the altimeter. Has anyone ever installed one of these? If it doesn't stick, is there a *safe* glue that I could put a drop or two on to help it stick without the glue eating the plastic of the altimeter? -- CP-ASEL, instrument, CFI |

I had a pair of defective chocks from them. I wasn't able to get the guy to understand just what the problem was but they replaced them assuming that I was right and it was really a defect in the one I had. They didn't even make me send back the first pair. |
