    The 6 ft requirement applies to the ADAHRS. The remote magnetometer is not subject to this same constraint.

    Rick et all,
    I am planning to mount my adahrs in the location shown in the pictures.
    I will put my remote magnetometer in the wing tip.
    On the factory installation, they had simple brackets (no longer available)
    I can’t make out what you did from the pictures. Do you have better pics available?

    On my installation, I cut the ends of the square aluminum tubing so a tab could be bent down at 90 degrees, and drilled two holes in it so it could be bolted to two adel clamps. I leveled things up before drilling; with one hole slightly oversize it gave some final adjustment before clamping it up.

    My ADHRS included the magnetometer; no problems in this location.

    Hi Jim,
    Do you have a picture or two of how you did this?
    Thanks much!

    Rex, I don't have any close-up photos, but I made a crude sketch of what I did.

    Here are some pictures of what Jim is talking about. 3 of us in the NW have had luck with this setup.

    @airfox, that last image you have a bunch of connectors into a plate of some sort. Is that used to extend connections? Like a hub kind of idea?

    The hub is for the Dynon SV Network for the AHRS, SERVOS, ETC.

    I'm mounting my Dynon magnetometer in my wingtip. Do I need to be concerned about electrical interference from the nav and strobe lights there? Does anybody have pictures or diagrams of how they mounted their magnetometer out there?
