go to ebay put in kitchen timer ! £3

simple and does the job.
clip ones will clip on your knee board
Magnetic ones will stick to a metal yoke
digits are usually big
buttons are often big and simple to use
also put some Velcro on the back, seems to be a theme with GA cockpits and Velcro lol

I found all that was really important was leg time, rate one turn times and FAF to MAP etc, also the LED ones show up easy in low light. If you get one with time on then useful to set it to zulu

When I did my PPL in the states, I bought a child's Shrek watch with interchangeable faces (shrek/donkey/the cat) for only $2.50

It fitted perfectly and I was delighted to be honest.

Yep, they'll stick to the compass too.

Keeps it high up on the panel and out of the way.

All,

Went out and bought myself the Argos one on Saturday and works a treat. Two perfectly-timed navs carried over the weekend. Just need a bit of Velcro now....

Spookily, a Breitling poster's just been put up on the route to my flying club. No Velcro required for that.

Thanks again for the advice folks.
