The Sextants discussion group on Yahoo is another good place to ask questions. Recently I got replies from a couple people there who have AN5851s. I don't own one myself (yet). Anyone can read the messages over the Web but posting something requires registering with Yahoo. It's free and painless. They don't seem to generate any significant spam that I've noticed. After you sign up you can access the discussion group via the Web or set up your preferences so it operates like a regular mailing list. The latter works well for Sextants; the message traffic is light and there's little "noise". http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sextants/ I think Ken at Celestaire recently said they have manuals for just about all aircraft sextants. http://www.celestaire.com/
