There is a very good and experienced pilot at our field who went to
the local auto parts store and bought a "glass marble" type compass
that he uses in his glider. It's a compas contained in plastic sphere
about 1" in diameter. I guess he paid no more than $5 for it. He
made a small mount for it and velcro'd it on the inside of the canopy
in the same spot where his yaw string is attached. Pretty neat setup
and very inexpensive. Also solves the problem of being far enough
away from the panel where potential magentic fields exist.
