PZL compass
I have a PZL KI-13A compass. The fluid seems to have drained out. I contacted PZL for information on how to repair but, their recommendation was to replace the unit because of the shipping cost.
Is there a way to refill the compass with the appropriate fluid? |

Dave's direct link to the thread works fine, but a search on 'PZL' will not produce it. I hope there is an easy alternative to searching our archives, because if not, we've all lost a good source of knowledge. New postings also become a waste of time if only accessible via search for such a short time. John |

PZL compass - Searching past posts??
This inconvenient situation has existed for about 2 months now -
apparently Google "improved" things a while ago (not!) You can still search the archives, though, everything is there. Do this: 1. Go to this page: http://groups.google.com/ 2. In the search field type "group:rec.aviation.soaring" (without the quotes), followed by your query Hope this helps. -John On Sep 25, 11:11 pm, John wrote: Has anyone else noted that all RAS posts older than about a month are no longer returned by 'Search this group' ?

PZL compass
If you fix it and refill it, be sure to leave a small air bubble in it
for fluid expansion or else you will be back to where you started. Solo wrote: I have a PZL KI-13A compass. The fluid seems to have drained out.
