Peel and Stick Bugs
These reminder bugs, available exclusively from Sporty's, are the best insurance against error for any pilot. A quick and accurate visual reference helps maintain critical air speed or altitude. Fast and simple to install–just peel off the paper backing and press it inside the bezel. Indicators consist of a thin track that installs inside the bezel.
Altitude Bugs
Altitude Alert Indicator marks critical altitude levels so they can be maintained by quick visual reference. In the track are three tabs that move simultaneously: green tab points to 500' above DH or MDA, yellow tab points from 200' to 100' above minimums and red tab is placed at DH or MDA. An added safety margin for approaches, it will also help sharpen your skills. Altitude Alert Indicator 2 7/8" dia.

Just what I wanted for my Mooney, but see Cons:
Cons
I had the same problem as some other pilot in that the Altitude setting circle would begin to rotate around when I was in cruse mode. This rotation was a result of vibrating the setting circle that was caused by the engine vibrating the instrument panel. I fixed the problem by inserting two very thin plastic pieces (with sticky back) onto the rotating ring.

This item is a good safety check for holding you altitude on IFR approaches.

Very easy to install. A great reminder of target altitudes when busy. Have only used for a short time, not able to remark on durability. Ingenious adhesive made it easy to put in place.

A simple and effective product
Cons
Quality control is dubious. Bought one a few years back and it wouldn't slide in the ring. Also the glue is weak. Hope this one works out.
THE PRICE IS OUTRAGEOUS ! ! ! It's worth maybe $20.00

Pros
Good clearly marked bugs, easy to set.
Cons
Rotates too freely allowing airframe vibration to move bugs. In 10 minutes flight, bugs settle to bottom of indicator. Slipping altitude bugs could be a potential safety risk.
General Comments
Would be a great product if a little more internal friction was designed into the ring to prevent slippage.
