Vertical Card Compass?

The installer, IR, mentioned removing ALL magnetic interference during the install. In order to remove all magnetic interference in my old Mooney, I would have to rewire quite a bit, as well as degauss. The estimate to have this done about fifteen years ago was well over $4,000. (Degaussing would only work for a week or two). A compass with a remote sensor was a much more economical solution. What's the deal with Mooney's? Does it make radio installs more touchy? Mooneys have a steel "roll cage" around the cabin. The only complaint I've ever heard about radio installs in Mooneys is the cramped space. I've heard stories about the steel becoming magnetized, particularly as a result of a lightning strike, but I don't have any personal experience, and not looking for any. Just curious...thanks. |
