Finally got to cut wood again tonight. Its been 3 months!!! way too long.
Moving and starting a new job has up till now taken my free time. Hopefully I
can get things rolling again.
Tonight I built a simple jig to square up the fuselage sides. The next step is
to cut and glue the bottom crossme
If your installation hardware is the proper alloy of 300 series stainless,
it is non-magnetic, so shouldn't cause a problem. If you don't mind using a
relatively soft metal, you could always try brass. Titanium might work as
well.

It is a tri-pod, so it can assume any angle. It has to be installed on the
same angle as the D10-A. Also, I have seen no issues with it as the
magnetic compass always seems to be accurate. I will know better when I get
my OAT installed so it can calculate wind speed and direction. Then I can

I don't think I'd want to put all my eggs in one basket. Ok so the

your eggs are still in one basket. You won't change your mind until it
happens to you. I know plenty of pilots who have changed their

Hi guys, I have installed mine with brass bolts. Also the alignment in azimuth
is not so critical as it is aligned in the setup electronically.

You typically have two sources of electricity, the alternator is the
primary, and the battery is the backup. The Dynon also ha
i think the issue is that if all your instruments rely on electricity, what
happens if the elect fails? You have no was to tell what your airspeed is,
no way to tell which way North is. I'm suprised they didn't require a
mechanical Altimeter. Even the airlines have a magnetic compass, and ste
I agree with DJ. I would get a second opinion or ask to see the regs that
require those instruments. In Plane&Pilot or Kitplane magazine, theres a
sections called "Ask a DAR" and, one month, they addressed your issue
specifically. I remember them citing the regulation as "You need a compass

That is a new one on me. I'd love to s
Got the verbal determination from the Washington FSDO Inspector that my
Dynon D10A EFIS needs a mechanical air speed indicator and a wet compass for
backup for my day/night VFR operations in my KR-2. Don't need a backup
altimeter. Airworthiness Inspection is postponed until I get the ASI and
Dan, Its nice to see someone else installing one of these. That is a great
idea to level everything. I have a D60 with the D10A and hope to put mine in
within a month or two. I am curious to see if the bolts cause any problems
with the compass. The manual says to have it away from any magnet
Sid,I am not following what you are after here either. I thought that I had
followed all the instructions to the letter for the D10a and the remote compass
installation and have since installed the auto pilot and everything is working
perfectly. Can you quote the part that you are qustioning?Joe
Dan,
The mechanical bore sight and the electrical alignment procedures are called
out in the Dynon installation instructions. In your website pictures you
have the pitch and roll adjustment taken care of. I did not see any means
for moving and adjusting the magnetic sensor in azimuth.
