Good compromise

  • By A Customer from Baton Rouge LA USA on Wednesday, August 7, 2024
  • Pros: Well priced, and works exactly as advertised.
  • Cons: Probably will never use it again? Then again when the power goes out it could be handy!
  • Review: It is odd to master these old timey looking devices when you know you will be doing all this in Foreflight or some similar program. BUT this is exactly what you need to for your Private Pilot test. Until the FAA updates the test so you can use FF you have to master using a plotter, and this one worked great for me.

Ultimately the only rotating plotter I will have to buy

  • By Kaleb from Battle Ground WA USA on Wednesday, October 1, 2025
  • Pros: Easy to use, solid plastic
  • Cons: Nice clear plastic gets scratched over time and becomes a little dull.
  • Review: Works as it should! Has all the different scales for your chart. Plots everything you need it to, plots course, plots distance, and is probably still plotting in my backpack.

good quality, would recommend it

  • By Ryan from southeastern NH, USA on Monday, July 7, 2008
  • Pros: easy to read, light, easy to carry around
  • Cons: nothing really, but yes it will warp which it says it won't...
  • Review: Yep, it does what it says it will. Slightly more on the compact side so it fits in my bag nicely. It's also easy to read. This isn't a big deal really, but I had mine under some books for a couple of days with the end sticking out. Yep, it warped. I don't particularly care as it is only warped a little, but just informing you all that it will warp, which it says it won't. Overall good product. Would definitely recommend it.

Cheap, flimsy plastic

  • By Kevin from Hamden, CT on Monday, December 7, 2009
  • Pros: Rotating azimuth makes it easy to find your course
  • Cons: It's made of cheap, flimsy plastic
  • Review: I returned it the day after I bought it. It's made of cheap flimsy plastic and the painted on scale started to chip off when I first rotated the wheel. I gave it two stars because I like what it does. It's just poorly made.
