Re: [Aus-soaring] bohli compass for sale

Compasses are a good piece of equipment in a glider if they are new and clean. They remind us of our heritage. Mine is very accurate and easily passes any form 2 or pre-flight inspection. The casing has been filled with a water-clear casting resin so that the card is rigid and clearly visible at a
