Jay,
The real use of the "whiskey compass" is for when all else has failed and you are going in. Rip that sucker off, crack it open, and chug your last shot... Dean "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:IXppc.15719$6f5.1334133@attbi_s54... Am I being overly compulsive about this? Maybe. Although I still religiously set the DG to the compass in flight, it's more from habit than from need. I've got two moving map GPSs, two VORs, DME, and the road grids to navigate with -- any one of which is far more accurate than my whisky compass. And the odds of losing all of those tools (including battery back-ups) are almost nil.
