E6-B for Palm OS?

[Sandman]

I have seen several E6-B calculator utilities for the Palm operating
system, and I was wondering if any of you could recommend (or not
recommend) any of them, I'm looking to score one soon (and any program
that had any features specific for helicopter would be a bonus).

Thanks in advance -

'FlyBy E6B' appears quite comprehensive though has no specific helicopter
features that I'm aware of.
It operates well on my Treo however I don't use many of the operations at
this time because I'm just learning to fly (10 hrs).

Hey, thanks - Incidentally, there really wouldn't be much helicopter
specific anywhere, and honestly I wasn't expecting to find anything -
I just asked in case all else was equal, I'd grab that one (I thought
maybe there'd be weight & balance calculators for common helicopters
or something) - I have a Treo also -

Good luck training -

While you are getting apps for your palm Treo,

checkout Flightmaster, (just do a google)

for a bit over $100 it does almost as much as a garmin 396 (ok, no weather)

I run mine with a bluetooth pharos bluetooth GPS.

-not affiliated, blah blah...

Great suggestion, thanks - any other useful Palm OS applications,
while we're at it?

Thanks ET,
Now using the trial Flightmaster with Holux M-1000 GPS, it works well on my
Treo 680.

I used to have one on my palm.. when I had a palm.. no idea what brand.
It worked acceptably. I also had the AFD in my palm too.. and all the
local AFSS numbers when there was a bunch of em.. incase I wanted a
LOCAL briefing.. while away from home.
