Hi there,
I have an idea on a removable altimeter bay, along the lines of the Smokin Rockets Altitube, but I need some additional advice.
I have a PML Mini BBX that I want to modify for dual deployment. I have an Altacc. I have some extra parts lying around...
My plan is to have a coupler that is glued to the upper section of the BBX (the lower section is fastened on this coupler with screws, so one can take it off to exchange the altimeter, refill ejection charges and the like). This coupler has two bulkheads to which the shock cords leading to the pistons are attached. Also, there are (or rather will be) holes in the bulkheads to accomodate a 38 mm tube with bulkheads to slide in. This tube includes the altimeter, holds ejection canisters and whatever you need. Now I need a way to secure this 38 mm tube in this coupler or on the outer bulkheads... Any ideas?
