38mm Components

A note about 38mm bay design - the tube diameter does not allow for much room to stack components, as you can in 54mm bay designs.  The 38mm line introduces a short battery mount which provides a way of holding and retaining a battery in an area next to a radial switch and an altimeter platform.  With some of the smaller altimeters, it is possible to do a custom long platform that incorporates a battery holder instead of requiring a mount for just the battery.  I have already designed and made available a long PerfectFlite StartoLoggerCF platform with a 9 volt battery retainer.  On an even smaller note, with a specific 300mah 2S LiPo battery, it is possible to stack a battery and an extra short platform (78mm long) for a compact 38mm bay that fits in a 6 inch long coupler tube.

Also, please make sure you order the correct 38mm coupler sized product. The parts that come in different sizes will have a choice of coupler tube size.  There is a thin wall size that fits Blue Tube 2.0 and there is a think wall size that fits MadCow's 38mm coupler tube.
