Conway,Jim has been talking about doing an all-surface mount 10 or 12 bit altimeter with EEPROM memory for the last altitude recorded for at least 2 or 3 years – probably predating the MPac project. The full feature list I’m…   Read more»

I will also state that I ALWAYS fly a Missile Works RRC2x (soon to be the new model as well) in conjunction with any other altimeter. I have always used my RRC2x as the primary and anything else as a…   Read more»

Peorsonnally after using both I would rate the ARTS2 better and more featured then the Gwiz. It has alot more to offer as well as add on with GPS and downlink. High current additional output on the new ARTS2. It…   Read more»

gotcha, accelerometer good, no accelerometer bad. does that put me back to the gwhiz?Doug G. will have to respond to this specifically; he’s the G-Whiz expert. I used an accelerometer (coupled with a barometric sensor) on my last flight, and…   Read more»

I guess it all comes down to:What do you want to capture from the flight?andHow much are you willing to spend/risk?For pure dual deploy reliability and peak altitude, I’d say RRC2 or 2x.For reliability and basic altitude logging, MAWD.Beyond those,…   Read more»

gotcha, accelerometer good, no accelerometer bad. does that put me back to the gwhiz?

I flew my MAWD for the first time last weekend, although just in the record mode, no deploy. I captured and downloaded my L1 and two subsequent flights with no issues. I only wish it had an accelerometer to get…   Read more»

is there something wrong with the MAWD?

Absolutely not. I just haven’t flown mine yet and tried to download data. I’ll do that at the August launch in my GLR VA.

maybe you guys should do rock/paper/scissors … ! Greg, that’s “rocket, carbon fiber, X-Acto.” 🙂 From what I’ve heard the best data loggers are G-Whiz and ARTS. I want two of Jim’s new devices, doesn’t matter what S/N. His are…   Read more»

You’re way late – both of you. I told Jim last year when he first told me about these units I wanted dibs on the first 6 production units. I may even have given him money down.WarrenWhatever your smoking maybe…   Read more»

where do i find ARTS and TC?

so, other than the mawd, what other data logging altimeters would you recommend?Well depending on WHAT data you really want I would highly recommend as a logger the ARTS. Now we also have some other locals that are developing an…   Read more»

the timing of this could be fortuitous, as i’m just getting ready to by my first alt …. but i really want complete flight logging, like mawd does, so i can download the data into a spreadsheet and generate all…   Read more»

Jim said he hoped to have some by LDRS. I requested s/n 0000001 :-)HA!!! you were to late as I requested #0000001 and #0000002………………………………………………………………………………………………………About 4 months ago and again asked him when he was at my house showing a group…   Read more»

but i really want complete flight logging so i can download the data into a spreadsheet and generate all kinds of interesting, and worthless, charts.The G-Wiz MC2 provides for exporting data into a spread sheet. But for general data logging…   Read more»

btw, i was BORN in iowa, it ain’t that bad …oh, wait, yeah, it is! 8OIowa is fine. It is the circumstances of my particular situation that prompted the editorial punctuation — not the geographical context. That aside, the rocketry…   Read more»
