REFLECTOR: Remote compass location

[Al Gietzen]

Scott;

I put the magnetometer for the GRT EFIS out in the end of the strake.  That
has worked very well.  I also have a digital compass I the panel; and the
magnetometer for that is in the nose about 6 - 8" forward of the canard
bulkhead, on the bottom just to the left side of the nose gear door.  That
also is working just fine; but I don't have an oil cooler up there so there
is nothing in the way.

I need to locate my remote compass.  Supposed to be clear of  big iron 
and large currents.

I would really like to mount it on the canard, but am concerned with its 
closeness to the stack and rudder peddle mechanism.  Anybody have one 
mounted there with no problems?

I also though of the small cavity at  the outboard end of the strake 
where the outboard wing attach bolts are, though the wires for the 
strobes run right through there.
