Ive got 3 of the 40K units myself and someday will hope to push even ebyond those if all goes as my plans are for a someday venture. I also have a 25K version as well. will probably give it…   Read more»

I’ve got the 40k version (yeah, for me, right… :)), and it’s going into my L3, too (the first-flight tested electronics) after Oktoberfest. I need it, can’t do without it.

I am using 2 of them on my latest rocket, and I definitely trust them. Missile works products are very nice, and I have been extremely impressed with them with every use so far. As has been stated, 300′ is…   Read more»

I would recomend you get the RRC2X 25K version with one of the Missile Works Switches and battery holders.The Altimeter must go to a minimum of 300Ft AGL before it will arm. Its minimum Main deployment is 300ft AGL. Via…   Read more»

My understanding of the RRC2 is that once the liftoff is detected, the altimeter is armed – which I think is around 300 feet AGL or so. So, 2000′ is not a problem. So if the altimeter is set to…   Read more»

Hi, I’m the guy that is never off weekends. I am stuck with G motors.My progression is agonizingly slow.All the great online help has allowed me to decide on a altimeter (RRC2x)More for ejection and air start than altitude, and…   Read more»

The ARTS looks to be very robust. using Gswitch for arming capable of 100G+ and they actually lay the capacitors down on their sides instead of stand them up and they use caps that have connection on each end not…   Read more»

The switches are made by Newtons 3rd. they are a positve locking over 100 gee capable switch. The switches are all mounted on a plate and accessable via a door in the airframe in the camera bay porstion of the…   Read more»

Im running for my primary a Missile Works RRC2X 40K MSL altimeter and for secondary/redundancy as well as data aquisition I will be running the Loki/Ozark ARTS altimeter. It will be done on dual 9v batteries with Missle works bat…   Read more»

Yes it is an N. I ordered the load and the case from Jim Amos just last week. I decided on the Biggets White wolf load there is to date with the N2020WT. Should be a fantastic boost. My origanal…   Read more»

I agree. Once I build and fly my L3 bird on an L and then the cert M, I want to get back into electronics. (If it survives those flights, then I’ll try an N. :D) Telemetry kept me in…   Read more»

That would be cool Bruce I would love to check this video out. I to am not the lover of just an instant on and instant off flight. I prefer at least a couple seconds burn.(probably why I chose a…   Read more»

Conway, next launch I’ll remember to bring my video camera and show you my using too much charge while trying to find the ideal amount. Makes Art Hoag laugh every time. 😀 Destroyed my stand, and I had to rebuild…   Read more»

Good point Doug. recently at the CERG launch (cause all I had to fly at the moment was some AT motors in my lil Endeavour) I used motor delays. Of course all were medium on all 4 flights I had…   Read more»

I’m just guessing too and I rarely use motor ejection anymore. It just seems like anytime the delay exceeds about 10 or 12 seconds, the uncertainities compund to the effect that using motor ejection is just too unreliable.

I remember them having it Doug, seen them before. But for some time now they have not. I belive that the way will be either this unit or the adjustable delay like what CTI and AMW(not sure about Loki) are…   Read more»

So yes for lower/mid High power motor flyers sure. 38mm and under you bet. H, I and small J like J350. But those allready have delays and ejection charge capable. to me what is in place allreay works well for…   Read more»

I can appreceate the ease and simplicity of the unit. But it will do no good for flights to higher altitudes really other then maybe a back up at apogee. Even then 2 altimeters are going to do fine or…   Read more»

Hmm…I agree – recording altimeters and the lot are definitely nice, but I still like the simplicity of a basic rocket with motor ejection sometimes. This device is nice, easy, and simple to program, yet vastly improves over the accuracy…   Read more»

Maybe the AT deployment is what some will accept. but not me. I see it as basically nothing more then a replacement for motor ejection. I want a real deal on board dual deploy capable with recording funtion myself. Something…   Read more»
