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 -------- Back home .................

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.

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, -------- David Gallagher 601 XL/Jabiru 3300 First flight 7/24/08 Upgraded 3/19/10 150+ hours and climbing!
