Not I know that the electronic instruments are far better than a mag

compass, but what's the FAA (or your governing body) going to say if you're

not in compliance with your flight manual?

My antennas are on the top of the glare shield according to instructions

with the right separation and no compass in my glider. My glider is not a

flying museum .



I will see how my unit works in the other glider.

It is off topic but if you have a magnetic solid state compass it will pass in experimental but I guess it will not pass in type certified glider.
