Make sure that you place the True Course line along the edge of the Sectional Plotter, and read the true course from the protractor where it lines up with a Lat/Long line - and not the other way around!
Set off on a dual cross country with a student yesterday in completely the wrong direction because I failed to notice this simple mistake. Oops! I caught the error about 10 minutes into the flight and we were able to turn around and rejoin the planned course at the second checkpoint.
Was just slightly embarrassing!
