I too put mine in the OB end of the strake on the pilot side. Not so easy to adjust, butthe compas is only off a couple degrees at 180 and 270 headings, all others are right on the money. Just over ten hours now and seems to be working fine. Dynon Skyview system.

Peter,
 
I put mine in the end of the strake. It is still within a foot of the (ferrous) wing bolts, but it's the best place I could find. Every other location I considered had more metal nearby, wires running right by it, or was close to motors or moving metal parts.
 
I'm not flying yet, so I can't really verify the wisdom of my choice of location.

Hi all,

Quick Q to you glass guys:  Where are you all putting your magnetometer so that it's far enough away from ferrous stuff to not be affected?

 

Many thanks,

Peter
