Umm, no sure if l or others have got this wrong. The D10A remote compass is a 'black box' not a card compass. Mine is under the baggage area on the RH side on a custom made plinth. Unfortunately tour

Hence plan for 10:1 to allow for turns and 'muffling about' after an engine out event. Skydemon allows you to add this parameter to the Aircraft model and thereafter depicts a gliding circle around t
