So this is my first time building an av bay, and I've got a few questions... This may get lengthy, but any help would be great.
... See the picture... Oh, and this is going in a 3" DarkStar
1) does it matter which way the RRC2+ is facing? I should have mounted it to the right of the RRC3, but woops... If I spin it around, it'll be easier to mount the wires since that's where the block is.
2) my plan is to mount the two batteries one behind the other using cable ties for attachment. Any thoughts on this?
3) my plan is to connect the e-matches directly to the altimeters, knot the wire on the inside of the av bay to prevent pulling, and use either the glove tip method or maybe the surgical tube. No terminal blocks or charge wells on the av bay lids. I've got poster putty to seal the holes. Any thoughts on this method? I'm thinking it'll just be more straight forward for a newb at DD.
4) Based on the setup in the picture, what do I need to know or think about?
... I'll be bringing this with to the next club launch to ask the same questions, and I don't plan on launching DD, but if I've got it all ready and it gets the okay after a little help, I just may go for a DD flight...
I'm extremely nervous about it cause I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Hate that feeling when I've got hundreds of dollars and lots of man hours involved in the project...
