Pros
All pros and no cons. The product does what it is designed to PLUS it makes thing graphiclly simple and easy to understand. That is much better than "Rod Whatever is Name" on MicroSoft Flight Sim 4. This instructor acts like a rattle brain and doesn't have the ability to make anything clear. He even tell you to turn in oposite directions in a holding pattern contrary to the visual box above and the actual written portion of the lesson itself. But this little holding pattern wheel makes everything plain. That's a valuable aide and every student should have one.

Overall its a good product, helps someone like me who thinks a bit slowly and gets me into the holding pattern easily.
Cons
I think it lacks some information which i would find usfull, such as a line to indicate the direction of entry for a teardrop, and a line to indicate the location of the ABEAM.
General Comments
Overall its a good product and i had just to fix for myself a couple of more markings to make it 100% perfect for me.

Great visual aide for teaching holding pattern entry. If you can't get them to understand holding pattern entry with this visual aide, you never will.

Ease of use and simplicity is good. An excellent IFR trainer

There are two disks to turn. One will be set and then turn the wrong direction as I spin the other disk - a friction issue.

Very handy, no mental load, true visual entry and situation awareness.

While the dials are hard to turn and require two hands, it's good that the dials stay put once set. I have an autopilot so the two hands is not an issue for me.

It looks great. It operates easily. It looks like it will be very durable.
Cons
I still haven't figured it out. I don't know if it is because I don't understand holding patterns or I just can't figure it out. It needs better explanation with, maybe some sort of a pamphlet with diagrams for us beginners.

I am hoping my instrument instructor can assist me with it.
