Hi all,

1     I install the Dynon D10A and remote compas.

Where is the best position of the remote compas?



2    Does anyone know a brake caliper (cleveland or other) more 

efficient than Europa caliper.



Thank you

Hi Michel

I put mine in the bottom fuselage in front of the fuel tank, Buts its pretty busy there with wiring and pipe work, so have been unable to get it within 15 degrees of compass heading, This winter I will be moving it to the headlining space between the doors, My compass is in a pod there and works well so hopefully the Dynon will be more accurate,

regards

Ivor

Good Afternoon Michel,

  

 As I am going with the conventional gear I can't advise on another brake  caliper because you may have bolt pattern and size limitations to consider. I  have my battery on top of the passenger footwell and so the little  platform that I did during the build in the normal location behind the rear  bulkhead was available for me to mount the remote compass. While I am not flying  yet, I have had my panel running and it seems to match the compass above my  windshield. It seems to be out of the way of most of my electrical runs. But  this is just a suggestion.

I'm running the D180 and installed the compass between the two rudder cable

pulleys. I've not flown yet but the calibration with the ground compass went

fine and it lines up with the analogue compass. Be careful with the O.A.T.

probe if you're running one as it must be wired through the remote compass.

Hi Michel,



I have the Dynon remote compas under the pilot seat.

Works well.



Have fun.

Put mine in the space overhead, just in front of the rear door hinges.  

Calibrated up very nicely with a landing compass etc. Symmetry between  

the hinges seems to cancel out any error from the steel hinges/screws.



Good calibration is really worth it IMHO for the prime reason of  

getting an accurate real time wind vector from the Dynon (who really  

flies by heading these days when you have the option of controlling  

track against desired course?)



My headset causes a 1 degree error if I sway my head over to the right  

(either that or its the fillings in my teeth...)



It was fairly simple to jig the mounting brackets to align with  

'straight and level' reference lines. It required a slight 'power  

bulge' in the ceiling trim to align the remote compass with the  

horizontal in the pitch axis.



I'm a fan of the Dynon kit. Has anyone got a view on the new product  

they introduced at oshkosh giving synthetic vision etc etc?
