I have read many articles about dual deployment on TRF, Rocketry Online, RMR and even Mark Canepa's book "Modern High Power Rocketry". I know you can buy ejection canisters made by SpaceTec (carried by Magnum Hobbies in the U.S.), Blacksky's E-jector, PML's Dual Charge Cylinder or make your own. Some people use 1/2" PVC or copper tubing end caps. Pratt Hobbies even has disposable ejection canisters - many, many choices.
Now my quesiton - what is the preferred method for connecting the e-match leads to your altimeter? Through your avionics bay bulkhead or via some connector/terminal block on the outside of the bulkhead? If through the bulkhead how do you seal the avionics bay from the ejection charge?
I'm sure there are many methods, but does anybody have any pictures? I'm a visual person.
Thanks!
