Wow! Tape !?! Yeah, really makes me think somthing shifted and either pulled the battery cable loose, or a switch wire, or something like that. You had the battery in the nose, right? We've flown high-g flights without problems, but I've always had the TeleMetrum screwed down with either steel or nylon 4-40 hardware, even when we did bays in 38mm phenolic coupler for my son's RG-2 design... fitting things solidly into small airframe takes creativity, for sure! As Keith suggested, if you have any build photos you can share, I'd love to have a look at what you did. I haven't seen a Mariah up close yet. > Good chance it slipped and broke the battery cable.

Glad to hear your EX load flew well, at least... Bdale
