Mount AHRS and Magnetometer
I purchased the MGL system that comes with the small magnetometer and AHRS. Having read the constraints on mounting, I conclude that you can't meet them all.
I was thinking about mounting them above the passenger compartment on a small aluminum piece that would extend across the compartment above the fuselage structure - basically mounting them in the center of the wingspan. I took my trusty Iphone up there and the compass works well for about a 6" diameter in the center of this area.
I know many have mounted them outside on the wing, but I am not excited about mounting it that far from the longitudinal axis.
Thanks

Re: Mount AHRS and Magnetometer
Tom, Think twice about that location. When sitting in the seat... wearing your headset... magnets in the speaker cups!! When visiting a builder of a VariEze he had a vertical card compass mounted, I moved the headset he had hanging on the throttle and the compass moved 30 degrees.
Just a thought.

I think the wing tip is your best bet. You will still get accurate bank angles.
