Just measured: 8 cm high, 7.5 cm wide, 2.5 cm thick minus the clip and knobs. Closer to 4 cm thick including clip and knob. Weight 110 gram including battery.

(And I surprised myself today. Couldn't find it in my flight bag anymore but in the pile of !!!! that's in my closet at home. So I guess it's official now...)

Cool

Thanks BackPacker, that does seem a bit big! Did you ever use it in anger, if so how/ what did you attach it to? Maybe I'll call Transair Monday and get a credit note instead!, [or a bulk pack of see thru VOR Roses].

I actually don't remember using it in anger. And now that it's been moved to the !!!! pile in the cupboard I don't think I ever will.

MJ, it wasn't me that bought the see-through VOR roses. I did come to my senses in time to prevent that. I'm also still using a single ruler and protractor, and I've so far also been able to withstand the urge to buy a circuit direction calculator. In fact all of the junk in that pile was either given for free (like a Spirit-of-St.Lewis memorial clock thingy, came for free with a Flyer subscription) or is totally non-aviation-related.

Unless you have had an industrial accident or were born with a defect of having no thumbs I can't really see the point of you having a protractor or ruler.

Although the protractor square is quite good for scraping ice off your windscreen and the ruler is good for scratching your back if you get sunburnt and its peeling.

MJ, I do have thumbs, but they just aren't straight enough or long enough!

As an obvious connoisseur, you should check out the "Blind Spot Original Pilot's Ruler" at Transair. It is perfectly located between the String Protractor and the 10-pack of Compass Roses.

I think 'extreme provocation' is a valid defence!

Hi,
I get car sick and I wanted to know if its different on a plane. I'm going to be on a plane for 6 hours and then land but go on a 7 hour flight after two hours. Any advice or medication to take before going on the plane? Thanks.

Winston, that's a question better asked in the "Passengers" forum, and not just tagged onto a random thread elsewhere.

Make sure you use the search function first.

But to give you a bit of reply chewing on some ginger root does the trick
