We are about to install the remote compass unit for our D100 in a Europa composite aircraft. Although it is not the easiest place for access, the rear fuselage seems the best location with no magnetic interference. We are having trouble working out how to install the unit so that it can be adjusted to align with the D100 to within 1 degree of accuracy - as the manual requests. In pitch and roll we can probably calibrate the position using our electronic spirit level - but we are not sure how to mount the compass so it can be finely adjusted. In yaw, all we can do is measure, but we are unlikely to achieve the accuracy needed. Is there a tried and tested method? Also, what will happen if the compass is not perfectly aligned with the D100?
