Brian, I would suggest doing this with WAC charts. ?Exactly 50% of the size of Sectionals, so only takes half as many and half the space, but still has all the small airports. ?The WAC Charts are a bit decluttered, so don't have all the details of a Sectional, but do have the details you want. ?I have considered doing the same as I have enough old WAC charts to do the whole US, but don't have a finished hangar wall to put it on. ?
I have been flying with WAC charts rather than Sectionals since about 1979. ?When I had my biplane it was easy to fly off the edge of a sectional, so every cross country flight involved refolding the map in an open cockpit, which is a great way to end up with no map. ?I switched to WAC charts then as I could always fold them around the front and back of a full size clipboard so I never flew off the map. ?Of course this was back in the days long before Loran and GPS in a non-electric Biplane. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > ----- Original Message ----- > From: brian.kraut at eamanufacturing.com > Sent: 01/02/14 09:06 AM > To: KRnet > Subject: KR> Looking for big wall sectional > > I would like to do a big wall sectional chart in my house or hanger with > pins in all the airports I have visited.
