I have a very similar whiz wheel, but yours has a couple of extra doodads on it. I'm not sure what the plastic ruler in the wind wheel is for, but I'm going to look it up….
Nice one. Just don't leave it in your flight bag, or it will bend.

lulz on covering up the name.
It always cracks me up when people have to hide, online. If you have time to post on a message board, you aren't *that* important that your identity needs to be a secret.

Ok "that guy"
Everyone who's been here more than a month knows my name.
Hundreds of members here have met me.
The nickname changes on occasion.
Yes, even Rebel Lord will always be his momma's little boy...it's just the way moms are made.
I suck at incognito.

Me, too. It should look nice beside the metal landing calculator that will eventually join it in the flight bag.

He's apparently a minor.
These days, that's a basic precaution. I insist my own kid not publish personally identifiable information on the open web as well.
There are some nasty sickos out there.

Everyone knows you're not a real pilot until you get a metal landing calculator.
Uh....well.....duh...
What the hell do you think th blue-yellow thing in the middle is? What? Never had one yourself? Figures. I've seen your landings. Maybe you should invest in one!

Landing calculator??? Learn something new every day...
I though a metal landing calculator was a gauge in a 152 that shows how many times it has been bounced down a runway by a student...
Cool gift from your mom.

about to be 20 soCompared to most the people here though im sure a minor
Well, OK. That's not it then.
I still have my E-6B 30 years later, and still sometimes use it because it's the fastest way I have unless the numbers lend themselves to mental arithmetic. That's why I like a plane that does 180, 3 miles a minute keeps things simple.
When I did FEX I was shown how to figure out how to shift CG MAC loads with it, but have forgotten.

Metal E-6Bs are easy to get, it's the metal runway alignment calculator that is the problem.

Mrs. Steingar got me a flight computer once. It was from WWII and framed, though.

Limiting some of the stuff you put online is smart, no matter who you are.
Just because you have your full N number in your profile pic, thus sharing your full name and address, medical, airmans certs, etc, doesn't mean that's a good choice for everyone Mr. FREDERICK

Cleared for Takeoff
I keep learning how to use my E6B and then I don't use it for a while, which makes me forget how to use it.
And then I relearn how to use it and the cycle starts over again.

I dunno. When I started studying for my instrument written, I discovered the E-6B was imprinted in my brain and it came back in a few minutes, better than it had ever been before. Especially wind problems.
