Hi again,

Well, that is my question. 1-2 degrees of drift per minute seems to be exessive to me.
My old Piper drifted 15 degrees per hour at N55.

When the gyro is in slaved mode, and the magnetometer is clear of anomalies the headings are usually within +-5 degrees which is acceptable.
Problem is up north the magnetic field strenght is quite weak.
