When we were building two Zodiacs in the same hangar at the same time we stored the kit parts on opposite sides of the hangar to keep the confusion to a minimum.

When we were calibrating the remote magnetometer in my plane the compass indicated 230 degrees on a north heading. Nobody could figure it out. Every heading was over 90 degrees off. I had located the Dynon magnetometer in the tail cone to get it away from any electrical or RF energy. I finally realized I could move the compass over 180 degrees by just moving the rudder cables sitting still. Someone ( ? ) had stored my rudder cables just above a DC welding machine. Duh! We degauzed the cables as best we could but had to re-locate the magnetometer. It is now the most accurate compass I have ever flown behind. Near perfect on any heading.
