VFR chart folding

Hi,

I've always bought my charts "pre-folded" but today I got 1 thats rolled up.

Can some1 provide a link to a "how to fold VFR Half mil charts" - if anyone knows of one on the web.

Thanks

Dont mean to sound rude...

But isnt it as straight forwards as folding the map up so the bit you want to see is just the right size to clip onto your knee board?.....or am I missing something here...

Yes you are missing something: the Duncan McKillop folding method allows the map to be folded to fit your kneeboard and still be used to track your route across several pages without unfolding the whole bleedin' map in the cockpit.

I can't find the link but someone will be along in a minute..............

Safe (and compact) flying

Edited to say that if you type 'Duncan McKillop' into the search facility of this very forum you'll find the appropriate thread..............
But then I guess you studied the 'similar threads' feature below didn't you?
