I don't see any problem with a spring-load for a TD ship.....you'd probably
have to worry if you had vibration issues like in power and (possibly)
slope. For extra safety, you could put two in parallel, one on each side of
the fuse....that way, if one fails (or gets knocked off), the other is still
supplying power.
