Got to figure out how to do that.Need to figure out how to store tracks for later download too.The more I play with my DC-30 and Astro, the more I like it.

that is a fantastic plot! If its not too much trouble can you post instructions on how you accomplished the download from the dc30 to google earth? I have a dc-20 and would love to do the same thing but…   Read more»

very nice

Hello,I figured it out Ken, thanks. Here is the GPS track photo.

Hi David,Looking at that log, I’d say your apogee is on line 258 at 13102. If you subtract out ground elevation of 5400, you get an AGL of 7702. Still in the same neighborhood as the Raven, but a bit…   Read more»

I can’t wait to see info on the Pro150 skid :D(Like video perhaps 😯 )

I can’t wait to see some of these thrust curves!

This is truly a topic that people have strong feelings about. I really prefer to fly a single altimeter, but everyone must do what they are most comfy with. There are sure times I have flown with 2, but it…   Read more»

The DC-20 does record altitude. You do have to subtract out ground elevation as it reads ASL. I looked at my L3 shot and was amazed when it was reading in the 32’s and 33’s. Then I remembered I had…   Read more»

What size powder charge you using. I will give you a dollar if you do the ground test. I thought I would use 3 pins.Scott, I used four polystyrene shear pins, each 1/16″ diameter on the original KestreL (BTW,…   Read more»

For 2 ??What size powder charge you using. I will give you a dollar if you do the ground test. I thought I would use 3 pins.When you use small altimeters and batteries, you might be surprised how much…   Read more»

I have used 2 RRC Minis. I set the back up with a delay of 2 or 3 seconds at apogee and the back up on main chute at 3 to 500 feet lower than the primary atimeter. 2 switches…   Read more»

Some people are concerned about making sure that 2 charges don’t go off at the same time in the same tube. I often use one charge if I’m using two altimeters. If your systems fail (batteries or altimeters or ematches…   Read more»

Thanks. You can also use a single Raven, with its four default output settings, to do both primary deployments and both backups with one altimeter. The default apogee output is accelerometer-based, and the default 3rd output is set up to…   Read more»
