There used to be an aricle on www.avionicswest.com (perhaps it's still there)
that talked about how the vertical compasses they tested were ruined by placing
a magnetic object a single time next to the compass. Things as innocent as
a Jepps binder (with it's steel spine). Sounds like they're great when they work,
but that you have to be very careful with them.

Get a new flashlight? Mine had a big magnet in the bottom I didn't know
about. The flashlight now lives in my garage.

Thx, {|;-)
