location for magnetometer

[Evan]

Hi all 

I'm working on a g3x installation on my Cozy and was looking for some opinions on where to put the Magnetomer 

I was originally thinking of putting it in the nose where I put the ballast  weights, but my understanding is the electric gear will cause some problems when it moves up and down it doesn't sound appealing during an IFR approach 

My next thought was in the cavity between the strakes and the wing but access is a pain 

where have you guys put yours pictures would be great if you have them 

Thanks in advance for your insight

Why would you post a COZY question in the Varieze forum?

And we just had this exact discussion on the COZY mailing list...

I moved this thread to the Cozy sub-forum. Better late than never.

The space between R-57 and OD seems to be a popular location. I'll be putting mine there.

Where did you end up putting it? I was just looking through the G3X manual today, the distances from just about everything seems pretty prohibitive. Maybe as far out in the wing as possible, with twisted and shielded wires for your nav light and strobes.
