Magnetometer

Has anyone mounted a gmu11 magnetometer?
We are installing g5s and the wing tip is a busy place with
tank vent tubing and such. I'm scratching my head on a bracket for this device.

Whatever you do, stay well away from from autopilot servos. It’s amazing their range to affect magnetometers. I didn’t do G5’s but bent some aluminum plate down and then inward to make a partial box and attached the “legs” to bottom of wingtip with stainless screws and nuts for sandel setup. Took some tries to get it shallow enough and angulated right and fit in wingtip.

A friend 3d printed a plastic mount but blew that with being too close to aileron servo. If you know anyone with that capability…
