Learned some lessons today.
1. The wiring for a pitot heater in the left wing can't fit in the grommets already running down the wing for the lights. I can get one of the wires through for the pitot heat but not two. So I can either run a 14V power line with the ground connected out on the rib, or I can use another set of drilled holes to pass a supply and ground together.
2. If I use the stock route I figure an ADAHRS in the bay will not have magnetometer problems because Vans made it that way. But if I use the upper set of grommets it might change the interference of the pitot heat current on the Dynon magnetometer.
Soooooo: how close to the dynon magnetometer is too close (affecting heading info). The pitot heat will draw 10A and then drop to 1-1.5 in contnuous use. I know there is a remote magnetometer available; but I wonder what happens to the single ADAHRS from running a 10A line in various grommet locations in the wing?
Anyone have any experience with this?
