I have the utmost respect for Ianwood and he asked if discussing compass rotation be in another thread so I am starting one.
I live on Cape Cod, Ma and have about 15deg of Dec. We experience significant J hooking and TBE here with the Phantom.
I have had 2 P2's and rotated the compass aprox twice the dec opposite the rotation as described in the Naza-2 Manual.
In both aircraft it eliminated the associated errors. Today I tested my new P2 H3-3D with about 30deg rotation of the compass and it flew a full pack down to 22% with no change in flight characteristics during the flight. It flew straight with no j hooking and no TBE.
True this is not a fix but it seems to work.
If others have had good or bad experience doing this please post here so we can have a discussion of the pros and cons of this work around.
