Instrument Suction Cup Bugs

Pros: great tool to remember assigned or minimum altitudes
Cons: suction cut is a bit large and hides part of the altimeter
Review: Good product and a needed reminder when flying IFR, one less instruction to remember, my only wish is that the suction cup was smaller

Pros: many uses and no affordable alternatives
Cons: they will fall off, probably when you are flying
Review: I've used these for years. The screw allows them to adjust tension, so they don't start to slip over time. The suction cups won't stick well unless moistened first and they will eventually fall off, 1-6 months, in my experience. They are great for altitude bugs and any other gauge that doesn't rotate under the glass.

Pros: Great for marking HDG or V-speeds on the traditional (steam gauge) cockpit. Easy on/off the dial face.
Cons: No multi-bug/color option. Not recommended to double-up the pointers.
Review: A light addition to your flight-bag.

Review: They work as advertised but it turns out that a couple of my instruments were too small. Make sure you know the diameter of the instrument upon which you intend to mount the devices.

Review: They're a bit bulky, but certainly are handy for reminders as to altitude.

Pleased to have them, as they are very sturdy and should last forever.

Review: Bought these for my IFR training. Work well & I still use them post-checkride. They do tend to pop off every-other flight, as others have mentioned that the cup plastic is too stiff. I would disagree with other reviews though, they are appropriately sized and do not cover the gauge.
