If it still works it's not past a service life as I don't think they

I have recently started some instrument training and when doind timed
turns noticed quite a bit of discrepancy between the clock and the

maintaining the turn rate via the needle & ball, there's no way I was
that sloppy, particularly since the error was similar with turns in both
directions.

I'm just going to change it rather than fix it. Now the challenge is to
find a replacement that won't break the bank.

Rmmmm?

Maybe I'm just confused or you were unclear. This reads as if your timed
turns aren't coming out on the right heading, so you're replacing your
heading indicator. I hope I'm wrong.
