ASAs Color E6B Flight Computer

Very good

A little larger than I expected it to be but it’s not overly big. Computer is made of what appears and feels like high quality metal, the paint is pristine and is very easy to read. I hope to use this computer for the rest of my flying career.

Everything about this E6B is pretty nice, except for one thing: durability. The numbers are not etched into the metal and are just printed on and the paint scratches off far too easily. Ive only used it a number of times and Ive already got some areas where the numbers are becoming unreadable. If you are going to treat your new E6B with kid gloves and keep it in its case except when in use it should be ok, but I like to have mine ready to use and easily accessible. I would not buy again.

Sturdy compass

Mine didnt come in color...no big deal, just would have been nice to get the right item...

This is the best E6B Ive owned, but there is one major problem...the wind side is only for slow speed (Doesnt go over 300kts) so if you are using this for an ATPL or otherwise, it is limited. You can buy the high speed wind slide for more on the ASA website. Or just buy the CX2 digital one which is way easier to use and harder to screw up (but more expensive of course). Overall though, for general aviation purposes, this is a great product.

Great back up for your EFB

I have a Jeppesen E6B, but had to abandon it because the quality of the metal and construction are so bad they made ​​it difficult to use. The moving circle is not well established, making the calculations more difficult to perform and inaccurate. Take much care and attention to the circle does not move alone during calculations.

Works as advertised. Difficult to find something to mark the front... maybe I need a really soft pencil?
