Tom
the tach was reading to low compared to the tiny tach so I replaced it with a better quality tach
I have logged 137hrs since I got it home I am in process of installing 2 ten gallon Fuel tanks, 4 point harnesses, building a new bigger panel, and I have to rewire everything to get it where I want it, installing a inflight trim system ,changing the horizontal stabilizer position, installing nav & wing tip strobes installing a heater System, inclosing the back and working on my skis as well I will be making a ceiling fan out of that warp drive 3 blade for my shop, I willl be flying comfortable in Maine Winter soon no matter how cold it will be I got some ice fishing trips planned way up north in the wilderness where I will need most of my mods

Subject: RE: Re: Card Compass Question
Hi Ellery, That 2” tach always read too high the whole time I owned the MK III that is why I put the tiny tach in there. I did not degauss the cage until the last 15 hrs or so I put on plane because I kept trying different compasses only to get the same result, even borrowed one that was fine in another plane and it was off too, that is when I degaussed the cage and it read correctly. How many hours do you have on it now? Probably too cold to fly now. Tom in warm Florida

I wouldn't be so sure about it not affecting a Tach I had to replace that one because it was not reading correctly It might not have been affected by the degaussed you did to it, it may have been an inferior Tach I would rather believe

Subject: RE: Re: Card Compass Question [quote]John/Gang: When I degaussed my MK III I had the compass out because I wouldput it in the dash area and it would be of by 90 deg but all my otherinstruments were in the dash. It did not affect any of them, did not thinkit was a good idea to leave the compass in since it works on magnetic field,also after I was done when I held compass inside where it mounted it nowread correctly so it was a good before and after test.
