I have seen some pictures of the EDC-10 compass mounting in a side by side

RV behind the baggage compartment near the top of the fuselage but I have

lost the reference for these pictures. I would like to review how this was

accompished to be able to replicate in my ship flattering the inventor of

this install method.

Does anyone have pictures of their installation of the compass module behind

the baggage compartment bulkhead that they can share with me?

Marty,



This isn't exactly what you asked for, but Vans now sells a "mount kit for

AHRS Unit" for the RV-7/9. Here's a reference and drawing:

In my RV-8A project I went to the trouble with the Blue Mountain remote

compass heading sensor to build a light-weight aluminum bridge to span from

one side of the fuselage to the other to try to get it as far from any steel

or electrical as possible. I think it will work, but there are probably

better ways.

Thanks Terry, it is interesting but I would rather not mount the compass

module there as it would interfer with something like a EZ Autopilot

altitude hold, should I add one at some point.  A similar set up on the

turtle deck might work.

 Check out Dan Checkoway's site at rvproject.com. He has a Dynon  magnetometer mounted in the top of the rear fuselage. Great photos on his build  site.

Thanks for asking the question and the answers. I was running into the same dilemma. Dan's solution is much easier than mine.

My solution was to mount the Dynon D10-A magnetometer well  forward on the horizontal stab deck below the vertical stab. After 30  hours of flight it works there with good  accuracy. No magnetic deflection from the chrome molly steel elevator  horns or rudder cables some 18 to 20 inches away. The  temperature sensor is mounted on the fuse right hand side in the  shade under the horizontal stab.

Thanks to everyone for their comments and thoughts.  I forget to check Dan's

site first.  While not exactly what I'd seen, that has started my o'grey

matter to think of what to do.  The tail cone seems like a neat idea unless

you even need to service it. Then I'll need a "baggage compartment monkey"

to get back there and fix it, not to be confused with a "trunk monkey".

Hi Marty,

I mounted mine on a bracket on the flat deck under the horizontal

stabilizer. It fits well there and is very easily accessible by removing

the fairing. I am not at home right now otherwise I could send you some

pictures. It seems to work well in that location.
