Narrative:
Failure to properly set directional gyro in airplane caused me to fly a heading other than assigned by tower and continued with the departure controller. I believe the cause of the problem was my failure to complete a pretkof check prior to departure. In the future, I will align the directional gyro with runway heading prior to beginning the takeoff roll.
