The only requirement is that the compass is perpendicular to the flight
path.
My airspeed indicator and altimeter are to the left of it, and a vertical
velocity below it. To the right is my gps. I went through the entire test
cycle of electrical power on/off, engine running/off, etc. I could not
discern any deviation of the compass. However, I did initially have a ten
degree deviation. Using a hand-held map compass, I found that my Bowden
cables were all magnetized. I used a degaussing coil I had left over from
working on TV's in the '70's. The compass has been reliable for more than
three years.

Jim,
Are you able to mount this VCC in your panel? What other instruments are
near it, if so?
