Wingbuds Anyone use them?

[jabba pilot]

Hi, I’ve just been reading about Wingbugs. They sound excellent, especially as my old Jabiru’s instruments are starting to show their age. I appreciate that they shouldn’t be used as primary instruments, but as my compass needs replacing, and I don’t have an angle of attack indicator it looks to be a very affordable set of 2nd instruments. Has anyone got one? Do they work as expected? Would you buy it again? Thanks

Where did you read it? The only wingbuds I know are where the aquatic nymphs of insects wings develop before they emerge as flying adults.
Stoneflies, dragonflies, etc use them.

Fascinating bit of kit if it is as good as it boasts at around a £1,000.

Thanks for the link, @frog, I was really wondering what it was about. IF one already has some iThing AND if one wants to go from zero to a full six-pack THEN it seems like a nice idea. As a secondary or back-up, it feels like pricey. And not all are required: compass functionality is offered by any satellite based navigation app (with the sun also available, mostly) , and AoA is not normally needed, except (as discussed not very long ago) in certain high performance planes.
