REFLECTOR: DYNON AHARS location again

[Hiroo Umeno]

Not a Dynon but I initially placed my Sierra/Chelton/Corban AHRS between the two back seats on my SUV.  The back seats are on glass base (non-adjustable).  I noticed heading drift based on engine RPM at that location so I had to move it away.  I also had problems in the nose based on current draw due to proximity to battery.

I currently have it in the strake baggage area, a location I am not entirely happy with.

Subject: REFLECTOR: DYNON AHARS location again

Getting back to the recent discussion about Dynon AHARS placement- there was a suggestion to put it under the rear seat- I like this location because it is generally away from everything electrical except my AP servo (about  20")  but that has twisted pairs, so might be OK- anyway- did the person who located it under the rear seats have the metal seat tracks, or was it with the built up rear FG deck? I didn't notice any particular magnetic issues in my area, although I have the floor mounted metal tracks so the seats can be adjusted or removed, - didn't want to have the sensor located out of reach inside the strake where I would have to remove the wing to get to it.  Any suggestions?
