I am starting to think about my ejection system for my Loc 7.5 R2 Variant of the V2. I will be using an ARTS 2 and a Perfectflite HA45 altimeters.
I originally wanted to use the NoMatch system but I have not figured how to make it work in a V2 type rocket which does not have a payload bay. I made an electronics bay between the tail cone and the forward centering ring. I will drill a hole through the forward centering ring to run the wires for my ejection charges. I am thinking about using one of my new well nuts to easily seal the hold up.
I kinda want to make an ejection charge holder out of small PVC pipe. I want to glue it on top of the forward centering ring. I will use another smaller PVC pipe to hold the powder and fuse which should fit into the holder that was previously glued on top of the forward centering ring. This will allow the ejection force to point towards the nose cone, which is where I want it.
Does anyone have any experience doing this that they wish to share? Is there a better way?
Much obliged as always,
