Pah!
  1. Make sure your display is in "Rose", not "Arc".
  2. Start with your VOR needle at 90º
  3. Fly a constant heading, watch the needle pointer drift "behind" you
  4. When it is 10º behind you (i.e. on a relative bearing of 100º(RHS)/260º(LHS) ),
  5. Turn towards the needle by 20º (so that it is 10º "in front" of you)
  6. Fly a constant heading, watch the needle pointer drift "behind" you
  7. repeat ad infinitum
