MARSA54L av-bay rebuild

Buckeye · Feb 7, 2016

I picked up a MARSA54L flight computer and found it to be quite a bit larger than any other altimeter I owned previously. The av-bay sled I built for my Frenzy would not accommodate it, so some rework is needed.

First step was to remove the BRB900 from the altimeter bay and put it in the nose cone. I copied John Coker's design for a nose payload. I like the idea of wedging the centering ring into the shoulder step of the nose cone.

I constructed a new sled for the MARSA54L, keeping the dimensions and switch position identical to the first sled so that it would fit nicely in the Frenzy. I haven't yet invested in LiPos and a $50 charger, so I will stick with 9V for now. I can fly many times with 9Vs before recouping the cost of a LiPo system.

Clean & simple, nice job.
