REFLECTOR: Magnetometer placement

[Reiff Lorenz via Reflector]

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
