I am looking at mounting the GRT EFIS Magnetometer in an RV-9 (The GRT EFIS apparently has an internal AHARS, there's no separate unit). There's a lot of wire cable on the magnetometer lead so I was assuming that it probably want's to be moved away from the firewall and gauge panel. The GRT instructions guide you to checking potential locations with a whiskey compass while operating flight controls and any electrical equipment, which is not possible at the stage of construction I'm at.
I bought the OP-47 AHARS Bracket, is this a good mount location for the Magnetometer? I do plan to install an altitude hold servo at the elevator belcrank, which is somewhat close to the location of the OP-47 bracket. The GRT manual mentions possible wing installation of the magnetometer also, which would seem difficult as the wings are now closed up.
What is a good location for mounting the GRT Magnetometer? Is the Van's AHARS bracket an acceptable location?
