| Subject: | Dynon 180 remote compass |
I just purchased a Dynon 180 for installation in my RV8.
I have an aft battery location and have mounted my strobe power pac next to
the battery.
Does anyone have any experience with this combination? If so how does it
work?
I am trying to decide between mounting the Remote unit on the 809 bulkhead
in the tail or in the right wing.
Feedback please.
John Long

Purchase a cheap non aviation compass from anywhere as a location testing d
evice. The locations you mention look great until you move the control link
age.
I finally mounted mine on the back of the instrument panel right next to th
e D-180 itself. I installed an AVMAP GPS panel mount (plastic Air Gizmo) an
d installed behind this mount a frabricated shelf for the remote compass.
I had bought an aviation compass before deciding on the Dynon so used it as
a test device. I was more than surprised to discover how few suitable loca
tions exist on the RV-8.
As an aside=2C I was able to link the AVMAP GPS to my D-180 and will use it
as my primary navigation. You can also tell the Dynon to use the GPS input
for your HSI rather than the compass.
I can send you a picture of my panel and compass shelf if you want. Contact
me off line. If I get deluged by other requests=2C I will consider it list
worthy and post it there.
I am heading out to the hanger to sit and make engine noises so I will play
around with my D-180 to see if I can get my Dynon 'needle' to jump.

I just checked my panel mounted Dynon remote compass location (ref: previou
s post).
The D-180 booted up to a compass reading of 216.
Turning on then off all electrical devices would occasionally show up as a
dip
to 215. More of a flickering dip.
Rotating the control stick=2C pushing pedal=2C etc. no change.
I was getting pretty proud of myself.
Then I closed the canopy. The compass dipped to 209.
Which again goes to show there is no really good spot on the RV-8. Where I
have
it is still pretty good as the canopy doesn't move once it is closed.
Let me know if you find a better spot.
