Mike Konshak has published a couple of articles showing how to mount the DC-20 dog-tracker modules in rockets (see EXtreme Rocketry #70 March 2008 and Sport Rocketry July/Aug 2009) and has pix of his system on his web site https://telerover.com/. But, I've been unable to find any references to how folks are mounting the newer DC-30 modules.
I've got a couple of ideas, now that I've gotten mine in hand, but having learned to not reinvent the wheel any more than possible, anyone want to share their ideas, especially if it involves removing the module from the strap?
Just off hand, I think it would be easy to put the unit's strap through a nosecone U-bolt or traingle ring, feed it back through the buckle and duct tape the buckle so nothing comes loose, and just stuff the module down into the laundry for a quick-n-dirty ride. What else ya got?
