Okay, I have looked for answers to these questions and can't seem to find them...Should be simple to tackle tho...Some critical information about my project: ~8 lbs, 7.5' tall, 4" diameter, 54mm MMT, dual deploy with a HiAlt45k. I plan on doing my L2 with a J350 which should push it to 3000 and some change.
1. What size rail buttons should I use? Is there a reference for this somewhere? I have some 1010 buttons and some huge buttons - I donno what size those big ones are.
2. I am using 2 ea. 6/32 threaded rods with wing nuts and big fender washers for my ebay. I am also attaching 1/4" U-bolts on the same bulkheads Are 2 6/32 rods going to be enough to handle the shock loads during recovery? I would think they would be but if not, adding another rod or 2 would not be a big deal. Then again, I don't want to add more weight than needed. Is there a reference online somewhere for the strength of threaded rod somewhere?
3. What can everyone recommend for recovery harness? I have a bunch of 1" strap but that seems to be a bit overkill and I am curious to see what everyone else recommends.
Thanks!
