A great way to install a Featherweight altimeter in your rocket. This high quality Av-Bay /Avionics Bay is easy to assemble.

Features:

  • Provides a built-in connector for your Raven.  Just tighten the Raven's screw terminals, plug in the battery, and the electrical connections are done!
  • Some sanding of the plates may be required to fit into a BT50 tube or 24mm engine tube.
  • Provides deployment charge electrical terminals for all 4 Raven outputs, 2 of which are available at both ends of the av-bay.  Combine that with the Raven's ability to work with either end up, and you get the most flexible av-bay setup available.
  • Includes a magnetically-activated arm switch works like magic to turn your Raven on or off.  No need to align and drill your airframe for arm switches.
  • Under 27 grams including altimeter, about half the weight of a 9V battery alone
  • Everything fits into a 2" long coupler.
  • The Featherweight av-bay's short length, low mass, and magnetically-activated arming, make it  the highest-performance Raven installation available.  In May 2010, it was used to fly an I motor over 17,000 feet and a J motor over 22,300 feet!

Included in the Av-Bay:

  • One active bulkhead, including arm switch, and connectors for the Raven and battery
  • A passive bulkhead that goes at the other end of the av-bay.
  • A li-polymer battery capable of 9 Amps of current.
  • Threaded rods and lots of extra nuts (1/8" size).
  • A laser-cut plywood battery restraint.
  • Neodymium magnet with 1" arming activation range.
  • Due to size limitations, this Av-Bay does not include a built-in battery charger. A USB charger is available separately.

Some components may not be exactly as shown due to production changes and availability.
