Nope. Still using the Mark 1 wris****ch, estimated to within about +/-5
minutes or so, recorded in decimals because I can't add in base 60. Problem
is, I keep forgetting to check my watch on takeoff (there being rather a lot
going on trying to get a Pitts off the ground and into a pattern full of
other aircraft moving at half the speed).

With built-in flight timers becoming the norm in virtually all new

avionics
(heck, even the new transponder I'm getting has one), just wondering if
folks are migrating away from using hobbs/tach time to record their flight
time?

And if you *are* using the flight timer, have you stopped using the old
archaic "1.3 hours" method of recording flight time? Anyone using actual
hours and minutes in their logbook instead?
