    I want to thank everyone for there replies. I'm very familiar with the degaussing coil, but never would have thought of even trying it on an airframe. I will probably get one even though the cheapest one cost around $30.00. I just hope it puts out enough of a field to work. After I done with it I would be glad to loan it out if anyone's interested. Parcel post shipping would only be around $6.00 each way. I checked the difference in readings from outside the cage to inside and it was a 100 degree difference.

    I added to my ad that I only wanted to sell to US buyers (I hope that is ok and legal). I got some emails from someone in Costa Rica, but I don't want to de-register my plane. It took too much work to get that US registration and airworthiness.

I had to take out extra to get the plane and then fix it up for airworthiness when I got it. If I had somewhere to store it I would consider keeping it. I just pray about it and leave it in God's hands.

Electric temperature instruments are designed to reflect the difference i n resistance and current=2C i.e. the electrical current generated by two di ssimilar metals when exposed to temperature. The sending units are "thermi sters"...temperature dependant resisters". The higher the temperature the lower the resistance=2C (due to the electrical current flowing between to d issimilar metals) The gauge simply displays the present resistance=2C but it does so on a s cale that is calibrated in temperature degrees. It is very doubtful a demagnetizer can have any effect on electrical engi ne gauges=2C unless the demagnetizer is on=2C and momentarily passing near an instrument=2C affecting it's electrical activity....but the gauge would not experience any after effects.

    Thank you all for your comments and observations on 503 running temperatures. Since first running the 503 on FireStar 2 cht has been too cold. The result has been too fast build up of carbon in rings, piston, and head. The problem has been solved by installing a fairing in front of the fan intake.

It did not affect any of them, Tom Thanks, Tom/Gang: That is the info I was looking for, someone that had actually degaussed their fuselage and instrument panel, and the results they obtained with electric engine instruments installed. My mag compass has always been about 90 degrees off, but changes in size of error as the aircraft is rotated around its axis. I've flown the mkIII with an inop mag compass for nearly 3000 hours. Would be nice to be able to use it to maintain my heading on long cross country flights, rather than contantly looking down at my thigh to read the GPS. If I am lucky, I can pick out a terrain feature, water tank, tower, barn, etc., and stay on course that way. I'm getting antsy to take a trip in my little bird. john h mkIII

    A degaussing coil can kill engine instruments that incorporate DArsonval meter movements (most do) as this mechanism depends on an internal magnet which you really would not want to de-magnetize. Digital meters? I dunno. The DArsonval movement is a DC moving coil-type movement in which an electromagnetic core is suspended between the poles of a permanent magnet. -------- Jerry King Deer Park, NY Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=278521#278521

    A tachometer is usually using an aluminum disc, activated by "Eddie Currents", induced by rotating magnets. Sooo, degaussing that thing, could of course ruin the accuracy.

    Hi Ellery, That 2" tach always read too high the whole time I owned the MK III that is why I put the tiny tach in there. I did not degauss the cage until the last 15 hrs or so I put on plane because I kept trying different compasses only to get the same result, even borrowed one that was fine in another plane and it was off too, that is when I degaussed the cage and it read correctly. How many hours do you have on it now? Probably too cold to fly now.

It did not affect any of them, did not think it was a good idea to leave the compass in since it works on magnetic field, also after I was done when I held compass inside where it mounted it now read correctly so it was a good before and after test.
