I'm getting ready to build my first sled out of 1/4 birch plywood for a 4 inch fiberglass rocket. The AV-bay is 9 inches long. Do I need allthread bolts running the length of the bay or can I just connect either end of the sled to the U-bolts coming through the bulkheads? In other words, the only thing traversing the length of the AV-bay would be the sled. That way I could include a transmitter on the sled and not worry about metal rods disrupting tracking.
Is there a overriding reason (like maybe strength?) to run bolts the length of the sled other than it makes thing easier?
