Flying 152, 172S and Archers, I determined the standard TO distance for each at gross from the POH (+10% safety kicker)and marked the slide. Total 20 min. Now in less than a minute I can have a pretty close estimate of TO distance. I love it.

Too complicated - I would have had to do some take-offs and calculations to get a standard, too. Too much work.
General Comments
I got stuck with $7.99 for shipping. I bet it didn't cost that to ship it. I'll be more careful before I order something I'm not sure of from you.

The idea is good, but the implmentation is poor. The temp range is too far outside the normal flying range. But the thing that makes this hard to use is that the slides from one value move when you are trying to put in the next value to compute the required runway for take-off.
General Comments
A PDA version/formula would be a good way to compute this.

Not easy to use and after all your calculations are complete, you still need to use "official" charts found in your POH. Slides are difficult to move in and out and the plastic covering peels at the corners from use.

Does as advertised. Useful calculator to take into effect the real world. Simple enough to use that you will actually use it!
Cons
It doesn't jump out of your flight bag and do the calculation automatically.

Pros
Handy, fairly easy to use.
Cons
The construction is VERY poor. The cuts on the strips are not level, so pulling one pulls them all. It takes a lot of manipulation to get things to "stay". I will not be able to do that in-flight.
POOR, POOR quality. Not worth the money that I paid.
