Re: [f-AA] Digest for aeronca@westmont.edu - 6 updates in 2 topics

Your friend might be looking looking for a Carwil Compass.   They are often found on the same shelf a hen's teeth.   They are very expensive.  It might be better to look for a vintage compass that blends well enough and continue looking, like an Airpath that's seen in Champs.
