Pros: Works as pitot tube cover if it stays on
Review:
Pitot cover is too large to properly fit the pitot tube on my '73 Cardinal. Two have blown away in last 9 months while A/C was tied down outside. Durning that time the A/C was only outside 14 days. On the last one I added extra velcro but did not help. Leather cover is too long to be secured around verticle part of pitot tube. Have modified latest purchase by triming 1/2" from verticle end of leather. Added more velcro.

Pros: works and is very visible. nice quality
Review:
I was a little apprehensive due to reviews saying it won't stay on but after receiving mine I don't get their issues. Mine wrapped around and secured perfectly and fit like a glove.

Great price and size, poor fit.

Pros: price and constructions
Review:
Price is good and it is nicely built, but too large. It actually fell off and I had to buy another. I made several modifications for a tight fit. I would receommend this cover, but you should make sure you have a way to attach it so it does not blow off.

Fits very loosely. Velcro is not positioned well.
Used a strip of rubber to take up the slack and it works fine.

Pros: price and size
Review:
It is a great price and the flag is very bold, but the fit was poor. This was my second as the first was lost on a windy day. This time I cut the plastic and sewed new velcro so it actually fits snug on my pitot. After the custom mod I would say it is good.

Review:
Everything was great except the velcro attachment had only one small area where it connected. It blew off on the first windy night. It needs enough of both sides of the velcro so it can be wrapped tightly around and secured
