IFR navigational pen

[Marko50]

I had a few requests from friends to make up some pens with IFR (instrument flight rules) navigational maps on them. I've done the VFR (visual flight rules) map ones as well, but these seem to "pop" a bit more C&C welcomed! The last one is another VFR one on a simple Jr. Gentlemen kit. I don't like the plastic threads on those kits, but hey, they're cheap!:biggrin:

I like the VFR and IFR chart pens you have created. Being a pilot, they really WOW me. :smile-big:
You have reallly worked out of the box and have done well. :airplane:
Although the VFR chart has more color, you are right, the IFR does pop more. It would be interesting to see them showing different terminal areas. to further personalize them for pilots. They would be great on a Long Click pen which would be more convenient for pilots.
I haven't gotten in to "cutting and pasting", but if you are selling them I would be interested in one with the San Antonio terminal area chart. I will supply the chart.

They came out really awesome. Like the look of the blanks with the kits, fun to see the maps. Great fit and finish. Great job!

Nicely done!

As a private pilot, I always seem to have expired charts…this seems like a much better fate for them vs. the usual tossing them out. Definitely worth exploring the concept!
