Although I have experience with electronics in rockets (R/C gliders mostly), this is my first dual-deployment rocket.
The basis is an Onyx I built almost a year ago but never flew (its original purpose was electronics testbed). I add an A/V bay and a 10" payload section. PerfectFlite MAWD triggers apogee and main events.
I use a 1/4" phono jack as a switch (an excuse to use that "Remove Before Flight" streamer).
A double-side Velcro strip holds the rechargeable 9V battery from vibrating loose during flight.
Pretty straightforward setup.
I'm planning to fly this at Moffett this coming Saturday on something like a G77R (sims to 900-odd feet) with main at 300'.
