From reading my posts you must know I pull the string on drinking many
times G Haven't tried Chucks Muzzle Loader yet though. However I
always heard they used Whiskey in the old old days to keep (compass)
from freezing ??? Do you know why/how they started calling it a
"Whiskey " Compass?

Believe someone told me to bubble and that's what I did? Worked for
over four years and I sold the bird.

I'd expect both systems to work and last a fair number of years and
then be rebuilt. Not expensive to do, just takes a little time and
effort.

Tnx for other side of the coin. Good to get several options (hanger
flying) out for those looking for what has been done.

You were doing fine until you said that vodka was o.k. Alcohol is never any
good as it doesn't lubricate. Clear lantern fluid works very well.

I have always been of the "NO bubble" group. Any air will expand and create
problems at higher, lower pressure altitudes. That is what does in the
diaphragm.
