| Subject: | Dynon D100 : Where to mount compass unit |
Hi all
Well I am up to doing the electrical stuff and was wondering were folks are putting
the compass unit that comes with the D100.
I was hoping to put it up behind the D100 but looks like there may be some power
cables near enough to upset it.
Any pictures would also be appreciated
Thanks
Kevin

Hey, Kev.
I had to move the magnetometer on my Blue Mountain installation three times before
I found a location that wasn't affected by random magnetic fields from ferrous
airframe components. Even the control cables (steel) caused a reverse sensing
between east and west! But north and south were OK, go figure!
I finally ended up going down the tail cone, and mounting the unit with plastic
screws to the top of fuselage from the inside, about 2 feet forward of the rudder.
Works OK there.

Kevin,
My remote compass is mounted in about the same place as Paul's. I placed it behind
the access hatch, but I also made made a mounting bracket to level the unit.
The Dynon instructions say to mount the compass within 1 degree of the panel
mounted unit, a D180 in my case, in pitch, roll and yaw. Since the fuselage
slopes upward towards the tail, my bracket counters that slope. Picture attached.
This has worked very well for me in the 2+ years I have been flying.
Good luck,
--------
