You only need knowledge. You can be the one who invents something before before someone else like the telegraph, the cotton gin, and something like that. You would be very wealthy.

i can make chainmail, although by that time it wasn't as big a thing as it had been previously...

Skillset would be advancing their knowledge about metal, fire, weapons, etc.
I'd be a king/leader within 5 years

ngl, for the longest time I thought baubles was purity or virginity. Was glad to find out it was much cleaner than that.

Don't get hung up on the details.

I could make rudimentary flying devices and be considered an absolute genius innovator.

Literacy and personal hygiene knowledge would likely be my greatest assets initially.
Afterwards, I’d invent something like the bicycle and get rich, move to Hawaii, and frick natives.
Assuming I didn’t die of something on the voyage.

This. And you don't necessarily need to know the technical aspects, you could be the idea man. Like a 1700's Steve Jobs.

They didn't even wash their hands or hair regularly back then.

yeah, folks hadn't heard about metal or fire in the 1700s.
You'd be a god.
