Made some progress over the past couple of days:
  • Binder Design AV bay kit arrived. It includes some nice goodies such as the drogue chute, 18' of nylon recovery cord, and a switch to be externally mounted.
  • Changed plan to 1010 rail buttons which I support with T nuts anchored in plywood. I sand down all the rough edges on the plywood anchors to make sure the recovery laundry doesn't hang up.
  • Used some 4" tube to create an extension from the nose cone that will allow for a bulk head and anchor for the recovery harness connected to the main parachute. You can see from the dry fit picture that the total height is now over 6 feet and makes our favorite MDRM look puny.

This weekend should provide some time for CA coating of the tube ends and motor mount assembly.

Cheers,

Matt and Nate
