Thought I'd share a couple of pics of the system I'm using to mount the pitot tubes on my Bixler. I'm also using it to mount on the wing of my old Aerostar 40. It allows for a quick release when removing the APM from the chassis.
As the compass offset is calibrated during fly from the GPS heading, what is the usefullness of the declination setting ?
