REFLECTOR: Remote compass location

[Craig and Denise Woolston]

We mounted ours as far forward in the strake as possible at the strake end.
Our strobe, nav and landing lights are running through the center of the
bulkheads which go b/t the rear fuel bulkhead and the spar.  So, whatever
that distance is.  We have a BM and a GRT in each strake respectively.  No
interference problems after 140 hours.

Those mounting their Magnetometer in their outboard
strakes, how far forward from the wing mounting bolts
did you place your magnetometer? Did you keep the
wiring from your strobes and nav lighting separated or
run them together without any interference?
