One end is glued into the rocket and the coupler end that is sticking out
you just undo the wing nuts and remove your board

Exactly what I wanted to know guys! I was hesitant to make anything
permanent. Glad I waited before doing something regrettable. Should I
loctite the nuts or wingnuts on one end so that I can still take the ebay
apart (completely) later or is it easy enough to work with when one end is
glued shut?

This is my personal preference, I like to have the electronics bay
completely removable. I usually use a bulkhead on the forward end of the
ebay into which I install brass inserts that will accept small screws.
Before putting the brass inserts into the bulkhead you fit the bay into the
airframe and drill holes through the airframe and into the bulkhead. Those
holes tell you where to insert the brass inserts. Once that is done you are
ready to secure the bay the the airframe with three or four screws.
Again, this is my preference and there are many ways to get the job done.

I have three rockets with diameters of 2", 3" and 4". I have purchased
electronics bays for each. I want to get started experimenting with the
electronics so I was thinking about setting up the 2" rocket with one or two
altimeters, then do the timers, etc. before I put electronics into the 4".
There's obviously not a lot of room in the 2" but hoping I can start with
that. My question is this: should I secure the ebays with rivets or screws
or should I glue them into the bodies? I kinda want to leave myself some
options while I get the electronics down and dont have ebays permanently
fixed. Is this a good or bad idea?
Also, some of the ebay mfrs also talk about gluing one end of the ebays caps
permanently to the ebay tube. Do I want to do this or leave both sides free
(no glue) for easier access?
