A much needed change for the elDiablo...

The elDiablo is about to become elDiabloEx. I want to start doing experimental as well as clustering. Since she will be going pretty high with these projects, she must be dual deployment. So I started building a payload bay with an aeronautical bay:

The neat thing is that all this stuff was in my garage. I'm currently waiting for 6oz glass so I can glass the body tube.

More later...

Looks good! What kind of packages you sticking in there?

If I do level 3, no chage that WHEN I do level 3 I plan on using a VERY nice electronics package that will probably consist of dual BSR's ALTACC2Cs, an AED electronics R-DAS with full GPS card, Telemetry downlink, 2- axis accellorometer. These in my opinion are the BEST money can buy in rocket electronics

But level 3 will come later, I have way too many level 2 projects that I want to do.

Then, there's always that pesky level 1 to get out of the way too!

Thanks... At the base will be at least one Adept RAS2. Preferrably 2 of them. But after that, the sky is the limit. I haven't picked out the timers yet for doing air starts. I have an adapter coming for it to take a central 54 and 6 38s. Won't that be fun? But in the near future I have a guy wanting to test out some of his experimental stuff.

I have updated the pictures to show the completed altimeter bay and how it fits in with the payload bay:

I'm right in the middle of the priming stage and then it will be time to assemble and fly.

The Electronics bay looks pretty good Phil...I will be excited to hear about how it performs!
