The hobbs seems like a perfect, simple
device.

True, except most aircraft (outside of trainers) don't seem to have them.
Mine doesn't, and never did.

That, and you're stuck using the ridiculous (to me) "1.4 hours" nonsense.
Why don't we just use "1:24", like the rest of the civilized world?

When I get this new transponder, I'm going to try using its internal "flight
time" clock. If it's too much of a pain, I'll go back to the tach time x
1.3.
