Not at my parts-book but if memory serves...it's a common Airpath. Aircraft Spruce sells 'em.

My '52 has an Airpath mounted on top of the glare shield. I do not know if this is a stock installation.

Thanks for the help everybody. Look in the 170B IPC at figure 76. Just above the lower left illustration is a picture of the compass assembly.

Walker,

Is there a story to go with the picture in your Avatar?

Yes, that picture is 118F. It was taken the day after its last flight around April 22, 2003. Almost exactly two years ago. I bought it in September 2003 with mud still on it. Currently it is ready to take to the airport and reassemble. All I need to do is to figure how to get it off the second floor of my shop.

Walker,

What airport will you keep it at? I'd be interested in checking it out over coffee.
