Default Egglofter question for you competitors...

I'm working on some models for this year's NRC, and while there are a lot of plans for C Eggloft altitude, none of them specify how to accommodate an altimeter. The Apogee vacufom capsule has too short a shoulder, so I can see doing a) replace the shoulder with an appropriate length of coupler with a bulkhead for use as an altimeter bay, or b) hang the altimeter off the shock cord (not my preferred option).

Just thought I'd ask the experienced competition folks on the forum what you do...

Chris, I noticed that your blog is currently featuring an egglofter build based on the Robin - what mod did you make?

Thanks in advance!

(Note: I would also make this post on contestrockets.org, but find myself unable to post even though I am a member.)
