Hello all,
I recently purchased a BRB 70cm Transmitter, and I want an easy, reliable way to transfer it between all of my rockets. I know that a dedicated bay would be better, but I would rather have something I can just hang off of the shock cord.
Anybody ever done something like this? I'm thinking of using a body tube and plywood rings to make a little tube I can attach with a quick-link to the nosecone eybolt. I would leave the antenna sticking out the bottom. I could also use PVC, but this is considerably heavier and larger, not to mention the static charge buildup problems.
My only concern is that the antenna will get bent upon ejection and not work as well, or the antenna itself will get burnt up by ejection charges.
Thanks in Advance!
Alex
