If you're down to just the compass, worry more about keeping
the wings "level" and less about heading. The compass, in
the northern hemisphere will work as the sole instrument
only when flying south [saw between 150-210] heading. It
will be very sensitive and indicate the correct turn
direction.

If you fly very much IMC, spend the money for Sporty's
battery powered AI. And keep the needle/ball-TC too.
