Hahaha, I had a similar thing, I folded my E6B day 1 hour 2 of ground school... anything from 130deg to 210deg had a +-5deg parallax error
Great story! Glad it coulda been've use :)
I would have loved this when I was flying still. Such memories with the kneeboard and nav logs!
Fun fact: I left my plotter and E6B in my black car in TX during cross-country training and came back to both melted! I was broke and 18 so figured I would wing it, but it surely made my calculations error biased by some amount of yards because I was broke and not wanting to buy a new one!
