Next question, can a non-A&P owner swing a compass, or must I have a real
mechanic do it?


You cannot legally adjust the compass unless you belong to Ron Natalie's church. :-)
You can't make up a new official compass card. You *can*, however, swing the
plane through the compass points and find out how bad the situation actually is.
I have also heard of people making up their own unofficial compass card while
leaving the official one in the plane.
