A couple of quirks I remember about the N3N that I trained in: 1. The altimeter never gave a true reading, but it didn't matter because we were never allowed to fly very high over the Chesapeake Bay and on landing you were not watching the gauges, you were watching the water surface! 2. If you were trying to (for instance) fly NE, the compass would indicate that you were flying somewhere between ENE, NE and NNE! The FAA grounded the whole fleet the year after I graduated (that's why the Navy sold them all). Sorry, I'll shut up now.
