All-

     Need a digital level to get the  positioning of my D-100 display and remote compass to agree. Thought I found one  at HF but on closer examination, it's a digital protractor and bubble level.  Funny, that's not the description in the ad!

     So where do you find one at a  decent price?

Bill:



I have the Grand Rapids EFIS and I believe I have a similar problem in positioning the magnetometer.  I have an APP on my IPhone called Clinometer and I believe that will permit me to level the magnetometer so that it is lined up with the EFIS.  I have not done the final installation nor flown the aircraft yet so I will find later whether the gadget can do the job.

Try  http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=17206&filter=digital%20angle 



 I got one of these things and used it a little.  It works fine as long as the display is vertical.  It easily measures limits of ailerons and elevator but is worthless for rudder.

I bought a digital level at Home Depot for $35.00.  It is 12 inches long and has an advertised accuracy of 0.1 degrees.  I think that is plenty accurate for positioning the Dynon magnetometer.

Bill, Sears (Canada) sells one for around CD$50.

If you find it at your local store, should be cheaper.

It's the size of a "torpedo level". 

Paul's suggestion is pretty inexpensive, but it has a smaller base, which would make it somewhat less precise.

 

Cheers

I've built my entire project with this $35 level from Sears.  Very easy to use with a clear readout.

Stan-

     I refuse to own a cell phone or  they would be calling me constantly from work. Looks like I'll check out Home  Depot or Lowes. A 9" should work for me.

                                                                         Bill

That is the same level that I have been using on my project.  I think I have spent way too much time obsessing over getting to "0.0" degrees.  Which is why I'm still plugging away at >600 hours of building when I should have been flying 100 hours ago....
