Garmin G5s
 
Putting in a pair of Garmin G5s.
Will interface via GAD29b to Navomatic 400b
Also interface to dual IFD550s

They will operate as AI/HSI nacking each other up.
Connected to gmu11 magnetometer

Here's where I'm at...ran the magnetometer test 13 times yesterday ... passed every time, but had a few 90+% worse case readings. It oddly seemed to go down some each test.

I am planning on putting gmu11 in left wingtip. There is a AeroLED nav/strobe out there, and AeroLED wig/wag sunspot taxi/LL on that wing.

I give all this detail in case anyone has sonething similar, or any observations/ thoughts on how/ where to install that gmu11
Either post here, or email me at networkgunslinger@gmail.com

My GMU11 is about 75% of the way out the left wing. There's an access/inspection place and it's mounted in there.

I haven't had any interference issues.

Thanks for reply !

I ended up running many magnetometer tests... getting quite good at it :)
Each one passed, but above 50% as worse case # ...shop told me shoot for sub 50%
Finally i took my wingtip strobe ground from wingtip, tN it back about 7ft to behing landing light (on their ground lug)...voila 44%
