I have that in my Aircoupe. The LCD display is splotchy, the buttons
are unreliable, a real piece of junk. It has less functions than a
$10 Westbend timer and costs 10 times as much.


That's odd. The one in my Warrior was beautiful, easy to read, and the
buttons worked really well.


Don't tell me, it was the most "bullet proof", "well designed" clock to
have ever been built. Just kidding...

I think the clock that is most complained about on the group (over the
past 10 years, atleast) is the AstroTech LC2. I don't think the Davtron
is as problematic. That said, I've had the Astrotech for atleast 8 or 9
years and it's been OK. I think if I used it in IFR a lot, the buttons
may not hold up, but when I was flying IFR I used a stop watch.

I think I might have 2 or 3 of the Wackman wind-up clocks in my parts
drawers. If I were you, however, I'd probably go with one of the low
priced digitals from either AstroTech or Davtron.
