Any good gouge on magnotometer placement on an RV8? Was thinking out in the right wingR
I installed mine out in the wingtip.
My thinking was: many certified installations have it out there.
One problem: when I turn on the wingtip landing light in that wing, it slews the heading.
Strobes, nav lights don't affect it, just the landing light.
Keep the wiring for the magnetometer separated from the landing light wires.
This would probably apply if you mounted the magnetometer in the fuselage as well, if the landing light wires happened to be close to a portion of the magnetometer wires.
