I have an RV-7A that is using 3 EFIS systems, including Dynon.
I am attempting to mount my remote magnetometers behind the baggage compartment, fastened to a plate at the top rib, under the skin. The problem I am having with using this location is that I currently have the mags (I have 3 to mount - the sideways Dynon is causing me the biggest fit problem) mounted a foot aft of the nutplates that hold the aft baggage compartment. This space is tapered, with more room left-to-right as I move fwd. If I can move the Dynon mag to within about 6" of the nutplates (see arrows on pic), the fit will be much better. If you recommend keeping more than 6" from the nutplates, and the screws that will go in them, then I will have to find another place to mount the Dynon mag. What is the minimum distance I need to keep the mag from these 2 nutplates & screws? Also, are there any issues about how close a mag is mounted to another mag?
Here is a pic of how I've got it clamped up right now:
Well, I can't figure out how to insert a pic, so here is a link to it on my web site:
