Hi,

We installed a PAI-700 vertical card compass far forward in our DG-1000.
There was a recess near the front of the instrument panel cover that must
have been designed for some sort of compass that was no longer in the plane.
The vertical card compass mounted perfectly and is partially recessed. It
fit using the existing mounting holes. We can see about 1/2 to 2/3 of the
top of the compass. That is plenty to use it easily. It looks good and
works well and doesn't block vision nearly as much as it would if it were
mounted using an L-bracket on top of the instrument panel cover. I don't
have any photos of the installation handy, but I can take one in a few weeks
if that would help. It is this compass.

Anyone have any experience modifying the glareshield for a partially
embedded compass? I have a brand new airpath panel mount, but would like
the panel space for a transponder, flarm, something more productive.
Ideally would prefer to swap my airpath for something I could mount somehow
half set into the glareshield, then line the whole game with black felt.
Thoughts?
