Would some of you mind posting pics of your DD setups? Just got Mach1 3" Black Hole EXT. It will be my 1st DD and I'd like to get some ideas on how to do it. Thanks much.

Agree with the BatMite BinderDesign/Doghouse charge wells and standard terminal blocks are inexpensive and work great .4" MAC Performance kit. MW RRC2+, StratologgerCF. Wiring kit and wells from Doghouse, aka Binder Design. Forged steel eyebolts from Granger.

Since then I have started tying them down with zip ties. I also orient them with the leads facing down when the rocket is vertical.If room allows I would mount the battery on the opposite side from the altimeter. I have seen batteries come loose in flight and the damage they can do to electronics is incredible. When using two like pictured, I would, if possible, mount one altimeter and its battery on one side and the second altimeter and battery on the other side. regardless of setup you really want to secure your batteries. I've seen people use just tape and trust me, it ain't enough.
Magnetic switches - can be time consuming waving the magnet, trying to find the switch, no visual confirmation
Teddy, the little red JST connectors, are they for the ematch? How do you secure them in the charge cannisters and do they come with matching connecters? Do you carry them for sale? Thanks, Dave
Here a couple of pics of what I have so far. Forged SS eye bolts, 10-24 rods, charge wells are .44mag casings, gonna load 31.9 grains of Hodgen H110
But my question is the fit of the AV Bay to the tubes is very loose. I have about 1/2" of play at the top of the payload section. Is this correct? I was thinking that the fit should be tighter.
