Skyview Remote Magnetometer

Post by FredHoffman »

Anyone mount the Skyview Remote Magnetometer in the wingtip? I plan on mounting mine under the fiberglass wingtip. Just wondering if the Aveoflash Strobe lights /Nav lights will cause problems for the Magnetometer.

I have a Kitfox with an Advanced Flight System, my Magnatomiter is mounted in the Wing Tip, last rib, by the Navigation lights & strobe. It is placed on the inside of the rib, not on the same side of the rib as you are showing in the picture. . It has worked fine.

Fred,
I also mounted mine I the wing, just inside of the last rib. No issue with the Aveo nav/strobes.

Thanks Paul and Gary for the responses.

I also did an experiment with a compass. The Aveoflash has no effect on the compass on or off with the compass touching to it. The wires do though, but they have to be within an inch to see any movement of the compass needle. I think it will be easy to keep the wires from the strobes far enough away.
