Yout set up the course you would flight to the Top.

Then Bring the Aircraft symbol in the compass with the "T" side to the North then you fly the correct Course.
(Hope i help you)
Example we have set to fly course 240°

Of note, be sure to lock the face of the P8 with the small handle attached... it will drift a bit if not locked down. This IS simulated.

LOl if you were to take all this bits and bobs people have got stashed in their collections, I wouldn't be surprised if it could build a whole Spitfire!

Hehe, probably. The Spitfire is the coolest warplane ever built, but I can't afford a whole one, so I think it's cool to have some peaces from one at home. :P

Sadly its not mine so I can't play trumps with you. My mate has been wanting one for years.
And did he have a big grin on his face when he pulled up to my house after picking it up.
I told the neighbours I was thinking of buying it and a prop to go on it, and that I was gonna
do engine runs on Sunday mornings lol They didn't seem to find it funny.
