VERTICAL CARD COMPASSES

I have been thinking about getting a vertical card compass and was wondering if it would legally replace the liquid float type compass.

No sweat on the vertical card compass. I had it done recently and love it.
Always hated trying to turn to a compass heading.
Nice thing is that the vertical compass tracks real close to your directional gyro.

Only problem comes with the amount of effort required to do a new compass DEVIATION card with a tailwheel plane.
Some claim it can be done easier on a calm morning using a GPS unit.

It is better to be late in this world, than early in the next.

Funny thing is, my old WWII DG is "whiskey" style. It can be tough to wrap your head around.
