Degaussing a Warrior
Has anyone reading this group had to degauss a firewall? My Warrior
took a lightning strike last July while parked, melting a bit of the propeller tip and magnetizing much of the plane forward of the firewall (so that the compass always points towards the propeller). The engine has now been overhauled, and all engine parts and the mount degaussed, but after trying several compasses, we cannot get any to indicate properly -- something is still strongly magnetized. Tomorrow my AME (IA/A&P) will bring in a specialized meter and degaussing device to start trying to hunt down the problem, but I'm quite discouraged being grounded for this long. Thanks in advance for any help, David |
