Seems like there was a discussion about the usefullness of E6-B flight computers in relation to solving drift calculations on this list. Are those articles archived and searchable? Or, can someone point me to a web resource? An old friend of mine who's an engineer/surveyor, found an old Davis Mark 12 at a swap meet for 50 cents. He gave that to me along with a 1962 copy of Dutton's and an E6B-type flight computer. The actual name is, "Fabulous MK-6B Kane Dead Reckoning computer." I would like to know more about how it operates. Way back, I thought I saw some info in a ground school textbook at our local community college library. I doubt I'll use it but its a non-electronic navigation tool. May be of interest to the group. Patrick
