I use dental floss secured to the centre hole of my protractor. Something I learned in the military to give very accurate bearings between points. Unless you can find some fine tip lumi colours, I suggest you try this. It worked when I done my exam only getting one stupid question wrong about the 1:60 rule. It is still good practice to draw the track line in but a china-graph takes up 2 degrees of width not affording ultra accuracy. The Nav exam reeks of prehistoric values and once you get your license there is much more accurate devices for flight planning. I think its high time that GPS was integrated into the syllabus and pilots taught how to use it in conjunction with a chart. Not only does it increase situational awareness it keeps your head more or less where it should be L@@king out!
