trib said:I'm looking at getting a vertical card compass and the falcon model is about $100 cheaper (not TSO'd), but looks pretty much the same as a precision model. Does anyone have any feedback on the falcon model and an opinion on which to get?
dhnatio said:I have a Falcon Vertical Card compass but no set-up instructions - can anyone tell me what the recommended procedure for set-up is? - I wish to have mine mounted on top of my panel.
There is a green and a yellow offet adjustment, but which affects which compass headings?

I have been told my DE is perfectly happy with the GPS ground track showing up on the Trutrak A/P as being a suitable backup for the Dynon DG.
Thats how I'm going to take my IFR checkride and I really don't see the need for a compass after that either.
Certainly flying partial panel with GPS track is a whole lot easier than trying to remember OSUN, ONUs or whatever it is...

Ed,I have a precision vertical card compass in my aircraft that was there when I bought it. I attempted to compensate it today without success. It's 20-40 degrees off on most headings......
Aircraft Spruce as well as other places sell the Precision VCC. The cheaper non TSO'd unit is the one that seems to give people all the problems. My Precision VCC is still fine after two years.
