That's what you missed about the DG? Not that you had to use the Wet
Compass?!? ;-)

Ugggh - I hate that stupid wet compass ;-\

I have the vertical card type Mark which pretty much replicates the DG

While the lag happened, I got to inadvertantly cheat since it's mounted
high up on my windscreen.

Of course, I couldn't be obvious that I could see below my hood while cross
checking my headings :-)

All my instructors and my DE did let me use the GPS ground track as a cross
check during partial panels as I used the NAV page of the GPS rather then
the map.
