digital compass on trike

[extra300s]

HI guys

Are we allowed to fit a digital compass in our trike (like the one amptronic sells) or must it be a conventional one?

Thanks

[RV4ker (RIP)]

Hi Koevoet
Wat was die prys vir so 'n kompas.

Gompou - it was installed when i bought the trike - Skydat dx2 Dash and Skydat dx3 Compass.

At this stage looking at the skydat fuel flow and optifuel models - seems both will work with my old GPS 3 plus and they relative in the same ball park regarding cost.

R1250 for the digital compass. Can get the conventional one for cheaper - but not much.

Hi
Het 'n gewone een op, maar sal verdwaal as ek agter hom moet aanvlieg. Kan ook nie verstel om sy noord te zero nie.
Sal kyk na die een.

Is jy tevrede met die werksverigting?

Gompou - Haven't seen compass that was 100% (talking boating experience) But Im happy with it for flying. Its got a nice extra - u lock the direction u going and it tells u left or right - nice feature.

I don't know how they calibarate it for a deviation card like they do the normal one for interferences - but I fly a trike not mirage.

In the manuel only show to correcly set it for north.

Cannot see the point of a compass anyway. If you fly low enough read the road signs or land and ask a farmer for direction.

Does an electronic compass as found in a GPS also qualify?
