It's not like you have to laminate them either. For a slightly less elegant solution, just purchase transparent binder sheaths for pages and stick your printed mission card in.

I fly online all the time and it's nice to use (especially the mission data card) on the fly...Our RW pilots write notes on the canopy with wax pencils, basically I do the same with these....

 

The point of laminating is I don't go through a ton of paper just wipe off notes from the last mission and go on to the next. Plus it helps when I debrief after a flight with my V squadron...

Just laminated my set. Added the patch of my squadron though. Paulrkiii, if it's alright with you, I'd be willing to make up a bunch of the checklists, laminate them and pass them around. For a small fee to cover supplies and shipping.... for people without the time or will to make them.

Hog_Driver, just which document is that anyway? I looked for it on the wiki, but couldn't find it.

 

I already have the mission sheet and 9-line callsheet laminated (along with the HOTAS and default keyboard reference), but not that one...

 

Thank you.

He is using my checklists (pdf files are in my signature). If you want to modify the checklists I'd be happy to send you the word files.

 

Speaking of the wiki, I was going to upload them their but don't know how...

Regarding using marker pens. I´m sure there are different models of erasable whiteboard marker pens, but I usually stea... borrow different whiteboard marker pens from work. They are 5mm wide which means a bit tricky to write small text with.

When I fly IRL I instead use overhead markers on the laminated map. They have a fine point which makes writing simple and pretty. You can easily erase the text by taking your whiteboard marker and "doodle" (can´t find a proper word in english for it) over the "permanent" text. The whiteboard marker will dissolve the overhead pen text (suspect it contains alcohol). Wipe off with tissue or a marker board eraser.

 

I also have found a "permanent" pen which has a piece of foam at the other end which works the same way. However I always come back to the overhead + whiteboard combo for writing/erasing on laminated surfaces.

 

Hope it helps.

I'm off on vacation at the moment, but will be back home this weekend. I'm selling Paulrkiii's checklist laminated with a ring as seen in my photos a page back. If you would like your own patch on the front covers, send me the image. I'm selling them at $13 (10€) before shipping. Shipping will be calculated on the number of orders per location i get... (ie: US, EU). If you are interested, send me an email with your info and put "Checklist purchase" as the subject. I can also translate into German if anyone wants.

 

Again, I am not home until this weekend. Any orders i get will be sent out shortly after depending on if my rings arrive in time.
