Seriously, I could probably do close enough calculations for in the air stuff fast on a whiz wheel than a Sporty's rep could with the glorified calculator. Plus, if the sun hits that screen just wrong, it's REALLY hard to read. Try hitting the right buttons in turbulence, too. It's great for on the ground flight planning, but once you get in the air, give me the old fashioned way anyday. Personally, I don't care if I'm off by 3 NM.

Yup, I can work a whiz wheel 10 times faster than I can the electric version. I bought the ASA electronic one when I first started getting my private and by the time I had moved on to instrument it was in my closet and has not been touched since.
