Quick question on compass mounting:
I have an RV-6 with sliding canopy. Have a bracket to mount the compass on
the roll bar support. Question is: where is the best place on the support
to mount the compass? Toward the top near the roll bar? Halfway down the
support or down at the bottom just above the top skin? Thanks.

Hi Dean,
I have mine mounted quite low on the bar and am glad I did. It sits about
1.5" above the glareshield and doesn't get in the way of anything else.
You'll find yourself using that bar for ingress/egress (and something to
hold onto during rolls) so it's nice to leave the upper are of the bar
clear.
You can see a pic of my installation (barely, but it's all I have online at
the moment) at:

Just my 2 cents!
Cheers,
Stein.

Just an inch or so up and out from the glare shield.

I've got some pictures of mine - its a SIRS compass - I used SSplatenuts
poprivets and screws on the SS roll bar brace.
I did mine just above the skin so as not to make my scan large......right or
wrong......
Contact me direct......
