I want a PZL K-13 compass
Before I buy a new one, I'm wondering if anyone has one in good condition
for our Kestrel. We have the mount, the housing (yes, the actual compass) shattered and I found it on the cockpit floor. Yes, possibly an overfill issue, read about that on here recently. The glider came from a coastal area and then we flew it out of Tonopah at 17k for a week. Found the compass broken after trailering home. thanks |

Found the compass broken after trailering home. thanks Jim, I just bought one for $27 inc shipping on ebay, although it is the Russian version (funny characters instead of N,S E, and W). I would keep checking there for one before paying $400 or whatever the current rediculous price is for this little (cheaply made) piece of plastic. On ebay, I usually see the Russian/soviet versions for closer to $100 and they are not uncommon. If the Russian characters bugged you, you could put your English dial in the new housing. If you don't go that route, do you want to give/sell me your broken one so I can use the dial? If you are buying it for a glareshield ornament, there are cheaper options (like the $5 gas station compass ball...). If you actually use it for navigation you may consider a vertical card compass (PAI-700's are actually cheaper than new K-13's!) if you can afford the panel space or view blockage if it's glareshield mounted... -Paul (510) 535-1946 PS. any other broken K-13's out there anyone wants to give/sell me if Jim decides to hold out? |
