Brief Description: Front Connector Magnatometer & ADAHRS 1
Next is the front connector. But before I do it, I decided to mount the Magnetometer for the D6 and this led to installing the ADAHRS. They are closely related. They both have to be mounted away from ferros (iron) materials in a nice place.
I had previously made a box in the fuselage behind the bulkhead to mount the ADAHRS so I decided I would add a shelf below that for the Magnetometer.
The magnetometer needs to be mounted with the same pitch attitude as the instrument in the panel. I measured the panel and instrument and decided it was tilted up about 7 degrees. So I adjusted the little shelf for the magnetometer to be 7 degrees tiltled to match the instrument. I used a digital level for this. It was guess work. I hope I can adjust if necessary later with washers.
I used brass screws and nuts everywhere so there is no ferros (iron) to distort the instruments.
