Pinging the hive-mind....
I'm building a sled for my Eggfinder. As you can see, it fits perfectly... and there's even a little shoulder to snug it up inside the shoulder of the nose cone (the wider part of the sled fits inside a 29mm BT).
The question I have is about the battery.The sled fits perfectly against the sides of the BT, which is nice and holds it in place, but there is just room for the battery between the sled and the inside wall. So unless I tape it on (which probably won't survive launch), I don't have enough room to secure it as-is. Here's the idea I had...
Cut a couple of small notches on each side of the side of the sled, and a "window" in the middle.
The battery slips into the window and is secured with zipties.
I'll probably glass the sled (at least this part of it) to strengthen it (it's just basswood)...
Would this work? Would I be better off epoxying the lipo directly to the sled and cutting it off if/when it dies?
