So, I know there are threads about avionics bay. But in my humble opinion, they don't get much love in regards to build threads and the like. We (me included) all like to see the build threads of the rocket with the beautiful paint job and the spectacular lift off shots. I wish there were more build threads on the avionics bay....because they are usually home made and have a lot of the ingenuity and style of the maker. People also are full of cool and new ideas too.
This thread...I hope will "give some love" to the part of the rocket that is critical for its safe return. I used to build bays before I had rockets for them. I learned MOST of what I do by seeing how others built theirs. I would love to see photos of how you all do the smaller bays. I am great at 5.5" down to 2.5" but below that I don't know how you all do it!
So! Please post photos of your avionics bays....BIG and small! We (I) like it all. I will begin by posting photos of my new "4-Banger" for my 4" Mac-Scorpion. I originally had it set up with one altimeter...but I converted to two. I like the "double sided" style. It gives me plenty of room. I also got away from Euro terminals. These "jacks" are easy to keep clean and don't hold grime or get corroded. The bulkheads were painted with High-Temp grill paint.
Looking forward to seeing your creations!
