KR> Possible replacement

There's two or more discussions going on here under this topic but just wanted to mention that if anyone is thinking about that one from Northern Tools on sale for $29 - it looked kind of neato at first but in reading about them it didn't seem like something I'd want for the panel. Maybe for an em

For what it's worth, a small $5 car compass satisfied my DAR. I use the superior heading info on my gps to navigate in flight ( no precession, no deviation, not influenced by extraneous electrical fields). Peter
