Vertical Card Compass

Post by robertcs49 » Sat Dec 05, 2015 6:29 pm

I am very surprised that after all this time of Condor's existance no one has developed, let alone even asked for a Vertical Card Compass; a search for it on this forum brings up nothing at all. Granted I have only been involved in flying sailplanes for a short time, having gotten in to it after over 40 years in corporate and commercial aviation; having to, in a sense, relearn using a wet compass. Flying airliners the only time it is really used is liniing up on the runway to make sure the runway is pointing in the correct direction. My point is, how quickly ones "situation" can be determined at a glance with the vertical card; it just seems to me to be a no brainer.
