"Map folding is an art form specially now when in a R22 almost can cross a time zone (almost) on one tank of fuel."
Many years ago I purchased a tactical pilotage chart 'cause the shop was all out of WACs. You could wall paper your loungeroom with this thing & have some left over for dunny paper. I had all of 60 hrs in my R22 & by the third unfold I was in deep trouble, obscured panel & forward vision with half it trying to exit the bubble. By this time its the size of large beach towel & I Had to land to stop the thing being sucked out (doors off in summer) & get it back under control. Actually had to exit the machine to refold it.
Nowdays I have the opposite problem, wearing bi-focals & trying to read a GPS screen the size of a postage stamp.
