Hi Guys;
I've got what looks to be a flight calculator, can anyone translate the tag? Many thanks to all you who take the time to translate for us.
Cheers

Bob

P. S. Sorry guys, no way to post a pic. The pic is in the Japanese trader forum.

I'd say that if you request our help, make the task easier for us to accomplish. I am not going to go out of my way to search for some image at some unknown location.

Find a way to post the image or link to the image.

Hi Bob,

I agree with Guy 100% but as I had a spare moment I took a guess and went to the Japanese Trader Forum of Gun Boards and found what I believe to be your post. As I don't belong to that forum I am unable to assist you beyond posting the link as the image is not visible to me.

Here is a link for anyone who might be able to log in and bring the photo over here.

Of course, you can. All you have to do is pay the $25 like all of us to become an Association Member and you can post any number of photos you want.

Hi Nick; I just noticed that my pic was on Gunboards, which is a different site. It was either this site or that one that I donated $50 to. That may explain why I could not post any pics. Sorry if I pissed you guys off.
Cheers

JoeBob,

You can post an image if it is hosted on a photo share site like Imageshack, etc.
Just place the image url (ending with .jpg) within square [brackets]:

Will render this image:


And ... I'd say "POed" is a bit strong. Let's just say "frustrated."

I'm not computer literate, however I've never had a prob. loading pics anywhere before. It said my pic was loaded, but i don't see it anywhere. This site is not very good for that kind of thing, why can't it be simple like others?

Many thanks. Guy, for the info. The photo you show is exactally what I have. Where can I find out it's worth?

Welcome to the forum.
The device was used strapped to the pilot's thigh by an elastic strap. They go for about $500 in
Japan.
The technical section of this forum has all the information you need on how to resize photos and post on the forum.

I must say i'm not familiar with the computer that's being shown above.Does the computer shown above have a leg strap on the reverse?

This is the Dive Bomber's computer that I have and am familiar with as the standard Dive Bomber Computer .
