Narrative:
Student set directional gyroscope and failed to pull out knob after setting heading. The result directional gyroscope stuck in position. When we checked again approximately 15 mins later we were 40 degrees off heading and very close to restr area 3704. I do not believe we were in it but at very edge or maybe right on edge of control area.
