I wanted another MPR rocket that I can fly at my local field (G limited), but also take to the HPR field and get some altitude. I love the look of Wildman's BlackHawk 29 so the choice was easy.
I have never utilized electronic deploy / dual deploy so that will be the big learning exercise for this build for me. I have a suspicion I'll regret the tight confines of a 29mm AV bay as a first attempt,... but after this everything else will seem easier!
Additionally,... I'm more comfortable learning friction fit of motors with 29mm. Less mass if / when the motor ejects out the back!
My initial plan is to use engine deploy at apogee for a streamer,... with altimeter deployed main. On later flights I can switch to both events controlled by the altimeter.
I'm using this thread as a guide for the Av Bay...

But any and all input in Av Bay construction will be appreciated!
Here are the bits...
(the long blue tube to the right is a 4' section of 29mm coupler not included with the kit, but planned to be used in Av Bay construction)
