Compasses?

Oh yes, I remember looking at one once in a glider. About early 1993 when we just had GPS and on that leg the turnpoint was bearing 145 degrees or so from where I was. There wasn't a lot of wind so I I looked at the compass to see that it also said 145 when the nose was pointed at the turnpoint. Amazing!

They don't even bother to swing these things in bugsmashers nowadays. Without a swing (calibration) they mean little.
