Bodily fluids on the board!
 

So the upgrade beckons :yuk: and the stationary catalogue only contains the very worst of Whiteboard pens!

Calling all you CFS Zen masters, recommend a type of marker to ensure that Vector diagrams wow the audience and circuits are neater than ever before!

Thanks +SHRA

Sorry mate, they only taught me the perfect way to use chalk (Shawbs). Having graduated, I had to learn to use whiteboard pens, with very limited success (slipping rulers creating nasty breaks in my lines!)

I soon had a word with myself, ditched that altogether, and if something was worth a drawing, I would use a bit of plain paper on a desk, neater, and less 'me instructor - you student' feel to imparting knowledge.

For God's sake don't employ such original thought to an upgrade though chum...:rolleyes:

Good luck, and enjoy the extra pay:\

WHSmith Whiteboard Markers. Pack of 4 (Red, Blue, Green, Black) for £4.99 from a well-known High St. retailer!

Almost as good as the CFS jobs, but don't make you quite so high in a briefing cubicle....:bored:

Best thing for cleaning the board afterwards was one of those magic cloths which in-flight used to supply. Bung them in the washing machine now and again and yet they last for ever!

Can't help much in this modern age, used to be chinagraphs on "back-lit" perspex in my day!! However, as "nice castle" suggests, I have always used pencil and paper in the civil flying instructing world, at least up to the IR point. Seemed to work quite well!:)
