Reviews
Fell off after one week and blew away even though I had it as tight as it could go. The velcro is not in the right place to help hold on properly.
Basically a cheap piece of plastic compared to the items Ive seen and expected. The flag is plastic not the woven nylon you often see and the fitting could fit a 737 not a 172. But, it was inexpensive and probably pretty durable and will work despite not fitting too snugly. So, its alright and a bargain at the ten dollar price tag, and shipping was 3 bucks more. Not sure how fancy one needs to get for a pitot cover anyway, so its kind of a mixed rating I guess.
Fell off in almost no wind immediately after putting it on for the first time. The velcro strap is not done right. I will have to put an elastic band or something else to hold it on the pitot tube. Disappointing.
White Remove Before Flight lettering on the back side of the red vinyl flag is poorly applied, and scratches/flakes off on contact - right out of the package. Design flaw or poor production run? Otherwise, this seems to be as advertised.
Fits our LSA like it was made for it. The design allows for enough flexibility to fit most pitot probes. Probably wont fit a 707.
Q&A
Its 7-3/4" long, and 3-3/4 high tapering down to 2".
