This is a fiberglass 54mm airframe, and I will be using three shear pins. I will be trying head end dual deploy, so the less the coupler/Av bay extends into the nose cone, the more space there is for parachute and shock cord.
It seems to me with the nose cone solidly shouldered against the switch band and three shear pins holding it straight and concentric, there wouldn't be any need for extra length of the coupler slid into the nose cone. Am I missing anything?
I'm considering 3/4" of engagement, giving 3/8" on either side of the shear pin holes. Sound like it will work?
