I had the same problem after installing the Flytrex Plus on my Inspire.

I found the solution was to make sure that the wide cable that comes from the FC to the adaptor board (and loops right round the compass) was tucked right back close to the FC. What I also did was used the 4 core cable that goes from the adaptor board to the actual Flytrex unit to loop across the front of the wide cable to hold it back against the FC.

I can post a pic of what I did with the cables if that helps.

I then recalibrated the compass to remove any errors and did a test flight using different orientations of the Inspire, and even did 3 POI loops with not a single compass error. :-)

I have the same issue. I think that shelding the compass compartment with an antistatic material would solve the problem.

I have found out that the compass readings are dependable from the position of the cables. I have a video that explains the issue. I am going to  post it tomorrow.
