I have a terminal block, so i have leads that go from the altimeter to the block….. so I think those will be secure…
so you would wrap the ematch wires around the eyebolt to secure it? that seems like a good idea, or some tape too, this just saved me 3 days of work! yay!
with the surgical hose (just purchase some yesterday) im using 1/4 inch hose. what is your preffered method of sealing? tape, wire, thin kevlar shock cord?
so just put the match in one end and tape around the base…. fill with amount needed of BP, then tape the top? if doe that way does the bp usually blow out the side of the tube?
Regarding using surgical tubing – use zip ties and zip ’em very tight….
man being out of the loop has taking all my rocket knowledge with me….. thanks Joe obviously Zips are the way to go!
I guess you can zip a plastic glove too…
thanks Joe
No worries, but it is “John” 8)
Regarding the plastic glove – you can just twist it and tape it off. The tubing has enough mass that you can pinch it with a zip tie, but the glove is probably another matter?
