Put mine in the space overhead, just in front of the rear door hinges.  
Calibrated up very nicely with a landing compass etc. Symmetry between  
the hinges seems to cancel out any error from the steel hinges/screws.

Good calibration is really worth it IMHO for the prime reason of  
getting an accurate real time wind vector from the Dynon (who really  
flies by heading these days when you have the option of controlling  
track against desired course?)

My headset causes a 1 degree error if I sway my head over to the right  
(either that or its the fillings in my teeth...)

It was fairly simple to jig the mounting brackets to align with  
'straight and level' reference lines. It required a slight 'power  
bulge' in the ceiling trim to align the remote compass with the  
horizontal in the pitch axis.

I'm a fan of the Dynon kit. Has anyone got a view on the new product  
they introduced at oshkosh giving synthetic vision etc etc?
