I built small shelves either side of the vertical stringer behind the
center of the baggage compartment to hold my compass and AHRS. I'll
have redundant units, so there is a pair mounted to either side. I have
no experience with that location, and someone mentioned that the
changing stuff in the baggage compartment could change things for the
compass etc. I was worried about access in case of repairs. It's hard
to find anyplace devoid of things that can adversely effect these units,
so I set my stuff up on the bench and held large nuts, bolts and other
'stuff' around the mounted units (on the bench, not in the airplane) to
see how sensitive they were. My MGL units aren't that sensitive to the
hardware that I was using for the test, so I'm fairly sure that the spot
I selected is going to be OK.
