Sean, Hi.

If I had the right sort of phone, I’d like to try your challenge over

By the way, have you ever heard of people cloud flying successfully
without a gyro instrument at all?

Just wondering.

yes, plenty of stories of no instrument cloud flying in pre-WWII gliding books and magazines. Sometimes it ended successfully and sometimes not. Sometimes "Successfully" was measured by surviving to tell about it.
