Bill,

I love Dave's articles and this one deals with getting "weened" off the GPS. Keep in mind Dave's an Ultralight guy and flys "open air", the devise you speak of is a plain old wet compass...batteries not included (or needed)! These things still do work and if you want to mess with a student ask him/her what all that stuff on the little card means!!!

This months' article deals with a guy who failed to abort a take-off and wound up in the weeds...gets an 'A" for perseverance and a "F" for runway utilization!
