Just checking in, and letting everyone know that Chapter 431 is kicking in the first $ 35.00 off of the $ 185.00 cost for those that sign up. So the final cost is $ 150.00. That is a pretty nice discount right out of the gate. Its just one way the Chapter is promoting aviation. If you are at that stage of your build or just interested in learning all about what's needed to equip your plane with a system that's up to the task.
The folks at Brodhead (C37) are awesome, so come on down and take home some valuable knowledge.

A nice topic for Bob Nuckolls to add would be magnetism and how it relates to getting compasses to behave.

Very good suggestion, Compass location with best performance/least interference is a goal of mine also.
Thank you

Another update. The number of registered attendees is 15.
We are looking at a minimum of 20 to meet class registration numbers.
The deadline is March 31st.
Chapter 431 is paying for a portion of the tuition for you, what a great deal.
The chapter is also supplying the food.

So if your on the fence, go ahead and sign up.
