Vertical Card Compasses vs GPS Compass Display
My vertical card compass is terrible, it sticks alot, then spins out.
And it is mounted up on top of my glare hood obstructing vision. I frankly don't see the need for a compass much in a glider. I keep orientated using landmarks like mountains (ridges are great), rivers,lakes highways etc. The gps is also good for direction in straight flight, but I just use a digital display, not a compass card display.
