I recently sent away for a set of *FLIGHTCHARTS*.
After inspecting them I found them to be some what disappointing
and I am not comfortable using them for VFR navigation especially
into new areas.
I would like to hear from any one that does use (and like) them.

Gripes
 1)	The scale is *NOT* the same for each chart, they vary
	from 1"=10nm to 1:100,000  more head work for the user.

 2)	Most of the information provided for navigation is VOR stuff,
	land marks and other terrain features do not get much
	attention.

 3)	Unless you are using a victor airway, you can not make
	an accurate course reading off of the VOR compass roses.
