Reviewer’s Feedback I just finished reviewing Fly Anything Incorporated's (Rob Manion's) newest product, Tips and Tricks for the Manual E6B Flight Computer. I've been in aviation for 20 years, 17 of them professionally, and I can say for the first time that I finally, really understand how to use this device. Fly Anything's product is to the point, clear and concise, and makes learning the E6B easy. I may just have to start carrying one on the Boeing 737 now that I know how to use it.! ~Chris Deimler First Officer Boeing 737-700 Fly Anything and his staff have done it again. They’ve created another outstanding tutorial for pilots in training, or for anyone else who wants to learn how to use an E6-B calculator. I’ve previously evaluated five of the “Fly Anything” products and this is definitely the best yet. As with the others, the thoroughness of presentation is unmatched. The format and ease of use make this tutorial ideal for anyone at any level of piloting proficiency. ~Richard Willman ATC Instructor, Subject Matter Expert This software in my opinion surpasses all other teaching aids on the particular subjects as an initial or refresher aid for all pilots. Great job, I added all the software to my aviation library for my personal and for future instructing tools. The pricing is very realistic compared to others and the most descriptive and to the point, not convoluted. I learned a few things that I didn't know, as a Commercial pilot. Looking forward to future products, hoping you'll develop one for IFR. Excellent job. ~R.F.V. - Commercial Pilot
