maybe it rotated due to the vibration of the engine while you were flying
and didn't notice it.

A strange thing has happened that I cannot explain. I wonder what the
readership thinks . . .

I have a Precision vertical card compass. I fly at least 3 times a week,

and I
know my airplane real well. Last week, when I looked at my compass, the

little
airplane
that should point up was about 30 degrees left. The compass was working

just
fine, but somehow the glass lens with the airplane had rotated left.

I tried to rotate it back myself--it would not budge. I know I could take

the
whole compass out and put it back but how in the world could this happen?
