It's the book...
By Jeff Gardner
It is the right book for private pilot ground school.... They just seem to make it pretty cheap in quality. Wears out quickly. I got the app for the iPad and it's so much easier to study with... Plus it was only $9.99.

2012 Private Pilot Test Prep -
By Tina Cromer
I've started out using the Gleim study books in 2011 and really liked them. I got This AOPA Prep test for the 2012 version. It is good and covers everything with detachable workbook(nice option). It also tells you why other answers are not correct. I would give it a 4.5 out of 5. AOPA is a top notch group, they have helped me get my medical and purhcase a plane. AOPA is the BEST!

Great value!
By The Third and Only
Studying is a lot easier with this book. One book covers multiple aircraft. Chapters are broken down into areas that they are on the FAA test. Questions are actual test items along with reason each answer is coreect/incorrect. Highly recomment this book.

I Love It....But
By Jim Cranford
Excellent idea but has some issues. I've tried with and without FSUIPC but can't seem to get this one right.
The problems all start with the Autopilot. Once the wheel is moved when coming off AP, it will jump to the last setting before the AP was engaged.
At the time of writing this review the product is brand new to the market and this problem has not been addressed.
Other than a few comments by others having the same problem, there is no mention of a solution.

If you fly without using the AP, this trim wheel is great. It places the large wheel right where is needs to be.
It appears to be around a 4" wheel and has a great feel. The drag or resistance is perfect. I find that using the palm of your hand works best for me.
The price is right but I sure hope the bugs get worked out or somebody can find a solution to the Autopilot issue.
It makes things a little interesting when turning off the AP before landing.

Trim Wheel from Saitek
By Biskit
If you are in the habit to use the little trim wheel on the yoke from CHProducts or the one on the control panel from Saitek then you will love this item. I find it definitely adds more realism to my flight sim, all 20 years of it !!!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
YOU WILL NOT NEED A DRIVER TO MAKE IT WORK (it is already in the wheel)SO DO NOT GO TO THE SAITEK WEBSITE AND LOOK FOR A DRIVER.
HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE FAQ IN SAITEK WEBSITE:

In order to assign the Pro Flight Cessna Trim wheel to the elevator trim control axis in FSX, do the following:
Connect the Pro Flight Cessna Trim wheel and launch FSX.
Go to Settings>Controls>Control Axis
Select "Cessna Trim Wheel" in the Controller type drop down menu
Scroll down to "Elevator Trim Axis" and click on "Change Assignment"
Rotate the trim wheel 3-5 times in the same direction until the word "Trim" appears in the assignment box, then click OK
Depending on how your previous axis assignments were configured, you may need to make additional changes, like making sure that there is not a key assigned or a joystick function assigned to the same axis, delete any conflicts as needed.

Fly Baby Fly
By Robin S. Dilg
My husband had an early flight simulator and wanted a newer and "better" model so I bought him this for Christmas. He had to arm wrestle his 11 yr old grandson for it after they got it up and running. This is a great product - well made and just like in a real plane.
