Mini X bad calibration
Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2016 10:14 pm
I just installed a Mini X in an L-39. I used a remote compass sensor mounted out in the right hand wing where the fluxgate for the original DG was mounted. They are telling me that the heading on the thing reads about 15 degrees off. Okay, there were some issues when doing the calibration; as in we got interupted, I tried to stop the cal process and restart it after the interuption but it said it was still in the process so we went with it and it said it was a good cal. Well, it's 15 degrees off so apparently it was not a good cal. My question is this; can a calibration that bad cause the heading readout to lag severely? They are saying that not only is it 15 degrees off, it also has severe lag when turning. Can a bad cal cause that on a mini x? In other systems where I have experienced severe lag, it was usually caused by poor placement of the sensor. Well, this sensor is in the best place it could possibly be on this jet. I am wondering and hoping I can fix this with a new and proper calibration.
