Heads up mods: feel free to move this to the techniques section, I am unsure of where to post this.
Anyway, I am thinking of using a dual-deploy system made of a copular, with a copular bulkhead and body tube bulkhead on each end, held together with threaded rods, holes drilled for wires, U-bolts, etc. and a small section of body tube glued in the middle of the couplar. Now, that couplar is placed inbetween 2 body tube sections, so that I can run wires down towards the motor for the drouge, and wires up to deploy the main. Now here's the questions: at apogee and ejection, what is to keep the main section from coming loose from the copular, maing the main deploy at apogee? I was thinking of using shear pins, but that would be hard on phlexible phonealic (body tube might get damaged over time). Is there any way besides friction fit? Thanks!
