Narrative:

Departed VFR to pick up IFR clearance en route. Flew from socorro airport direct corona VOR and evidently violated restr area (while VFR). Took appropriate action per ATC. Had problems getting on airway and missed assigned altitude due to failure of directional gyroscope/HSI. Notified ATC of failure and was given vectors to no gyroscope approach, albuquerque. Landed safely.
