Here's my question:  Where to mount the magnetometer.  Ya know, it has
the ususal mounting guidelines:  away from ferrous, moving parts,
magnetic energy fields.  I have narrowed it to outboard on the strake,
(wings have to come off to get it back out again)or in the cabin on the
sidewall storage area which is way more accessible but subject to being
attacked by a carelessly stowed lap top or what have you.  It must be
orientated in the direction of flight.  5.25 long,  2.75 wide,  1.125
high.  Maybe the upper aft cabin ceiling?

After debating various locations, I located mine out at the end of the
strake.  Not flying yet, so I have no experience with it.  I have another
one for an electronic compass which I mounted in the nose under/forward the
brake cylinders (I don't have a oil cooler in the nose).
