Seriously, none of the Winter ASIs come with 0 to 120 knot scales. In fact this is one of few ASIs that does. It seems very easy to read and the price is good. Does anyone have any comments on the brand (Skysports)? http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...p-10-05384.php



Just a bit of advice. Do NOT get an airspeed indicator that has its max range limit at your plane's redline. Why? Do you really know if you are at redline or maybe 20 knots past it if your indicator hits a stop (either visible or not) at your indicated redline?

As UH says, FWIW.

Are you kidding me? I think anyone can tell when going 100 knots or 20 knots.
Slow down! Who wants to go over 100 knots? Not me.
I have no idea what FWIW means, nor do I care. YIMMV
