I have had my D100 for about 2 years. Recently, I made a major change on my airplane, so the D100 wasn't turned on for at least 90 days. After the major change on the plane, I went flying.
In the middle of the flight, the attitude display showed the brown on top and blue on bottom. I didn't notice when this change happened during the flight, but it stayed that way for the remainder of the flight. Once I landed, I turned it off and back on and the correct attitude was then displayed.
Also, the magnetic heading was off by 90 degrees sometimes.
I did not recalibrate the unit after it had been off for 90 days or so. Could the AI issue and the DG heading be related. I feel they are separate issues, but that's just my guess.
My magnometer is probably 2 feet from my battery in the rear fuselage. Ground tests of heading did not show fluctuations when the battery was on.
