Hi Ron

I installed it behind the D-panel on the middle of the lower fuselage 
side bottom just front of the the mass balance arm support. I made a 
rigid aluminium installation plate full of lightening holes, leveled it 
carefully by all axis and glued it to the fuselage by Sica mass (!). 
Remote magnetometer was fixed to it by nylon screws. Dynon OAT sensor is 
also there, looking through the belly like Comant transponder antenna as 
well. They all work well (but those underside probes and antennas are 
easy to broke when loading the mono plane to the trailer...).

  I have a Dynon D10A with remote magnitometer and am looking for a 
location for it.

  Last night I borrowed Waynes sailboat compass and placed it on ceiling 
between door hinges. When pilot gets in with headsets on, it swings bout 
1 degree. When co-pilot gets in with headsets on it swings another 2 
degrees for atotal of 3 degrees.

  What location have you chosen for remote magnitometer?

  If between door hinges what deviation do you find? I have Lightspeed 
30G headsets.

  Thx.
