Thanks Kevin
It is not in their online database. I'll call and ask. I am moving the compass in my DG 800B. It is a PAI vertical card compass on the instrument pod cover right now, but it produces a *large*, reversed HUD right where I want to see out! I tried making a shield for it but it didnt help much. I am removing the clock and putting the compass in it's place. There is so much wiring and the panel is compact. I think I will run into electrical field problems-=so I want to be prepared. -- Hartley Falbaum "Kevin Anderson" wrote in message ... Aircraft Spruce has it.

Having any ferromagnetic stuff near a compass is not a good idea. Avoid magnetic fields (by proper routing of electric wires and discarding magnets as in gps-antennae etc). George

Hartley, Since the root problem is glare from the compass, what about this alternate solution: Can you put window tint onto the front face of the compass? The window tint film sold for car interiors may really cut the amount of light hitting the compass markings and reflecting back out. You could experiment with various levels of darkness. This will probably be fine even if a little dark since you [usually] don't fly after dark. Chris
