Where exactly is the compass?

I'm told that my front LED strobe might be mounted right on it.

Anyone have a definitive answer?

Don't know the answer but have you had any compass errors or calibration problems?

Haven't flown it since placing the LED there. Wasn't there a FULL teardown someone did where they identified the parts?

From images I have seen I think it is located in the nose cone.

In the nose, see pic...

Ah, gotcha. It's not tight up against the nose cone, but it's a few inches away it appears.

Thoughts on mounting the LED strobe there? Shouldn't matter / super bad idea / test it and see?

There is roughly 24.1mm of space btw the tip of the compass and the nose cone. I'd say go with a test.

Roger that. Worst case, I have to relocate but 3M dual lock is easy to remove. But that is a sweet spot for a light.

I'll report back on the mod values
