I have two questions regarding the installation of GMU11 which will be in a RV14A. I am planning on installing it in the left wing tip but open to other ideas if a better location can be suggested.
First question - with a number of nut plats in that holds the wingtip, should I expect issues? Second but more difficult question, the manual indicates of a .5 degree from the longitude of the plane forward direction. How realistic is to come up with that kind of accuracy? Sure, I can determine the centerline of the plane and draw a line for that on the floor of my hanger. How does one transfer that to the wingtip?
If such accuracy is required, what is the purpose of the calibration? Is the calibration just to get and account for errors that is caused by magnetic field or is there any adjustment for the inaccuracy in the installation?
