What is the best way to attach the Altimeter 1 to my Ventris MPR? Want to make sure it doesn't come off...
just stick it in the payload bay.
So it will be attached to the cone and inside the payload section? I'd say you're good.
well, in the ventris I was referring to the small space between the nosecone and transition as the payload bay. this is the short, fatter section of body tube. the parachute is attached to the transition and is stuffed into the lower body tube (where the motor is). if you go this route, you'll need three vent holes in the middle of the payload tube.
if you want to be safe, you can positively secure the altimeter to one of the loops on the nose cone or transition (or both) with line, cable tie, fishing clip, etc. I've seen references to the altimeter 2 hook as the cause of lost altimeters, but mine looks pretty stout. the ring is even beefier, which is all I used to secure it in the ventris.
