RE: Discussion about club altitude records By the way Adrian, put me down for one of those altimeters when you've got one that will do at least Apogee deployment. Without electronic deployment, you really can't optimize for altitude. Grr. Bil... |

RE: Discussion about club altitude records I'd be interested in seeing that if you could bring it to the next launch. I could drive they keying with the spare switched output on the Parrot, but then it wouldn't be a factory-standard altimeter.... |

RE: Discussion about club altitude records As to the 90 percent point, (at least with F and above) I would have to opine that would be sometime during descent after the recovery device has deployed and someone has seen it recently or they have... |

RE: Discussion about club altitude records What's flight weight? How much do you expect to charge for them? The last time I weighed one with an accurate scale, it was 7.6 grams, but that was my first prototype. Since then, I've added some ... |

RE: Discussion about club altitude records Oddly enough, I have not flown an A, B, C, or D motor in perhaps 15 years. On top of that, I have never once flown an E. Given my geographical constraints, mayhaps I will revisit that whole paradigm (... |

RE: Discussion about club altitude records I suppose I should be asking Tom Rouse this, but do you think that the ejection charge reduction/elimination would disqualify a Tripoli attempt? When I go for the F record I want to make sure I tag a... |

RE: Discussion about club altitude records I have some questions about record rules: Is a "boosted dart" an unpowered payload section that recovers separately from the booster? I checked out the Tripoli rules and boosted darts aren't disallow... |

RE: Certifying my altimeter My altitude watch changes *dramatically* with the change in baro pressure. It constantly needs re-calibration. Curious if you have tried tossing in other brands of altimeters into the same chamber at ... |

RE: Certifying my altimeter What I've been using so far is a shop vac hooked up to an airtight container. The Shop Vac pulls the equivalent of 3000 feet of altitude. I have a well-calibrated altitude watch that I put in the s... |

RE: Announcing the Parrot Altitude Challenge What can we do to cross paths so I can either borrow it or get explicit measurements so I can make a size mockup to fit it in place? Sometime today I'll post a dimensioned drawing. I also have a a co... |

RE: Certifying my altimeter A week ago, he asked for me to give him all the data I could about the altimeter, and I replied with a bunch of information, data and graphs. I haven't heard back since, so I'll ping him again today... |

Announcing the Parrot Altitude Challenge During a shake-down flight this morning for my new 29mm F record attempt rocket, I accidentally exceeded the club record for E, using a 24mm E15-7. The shock cord broke and the Parrot altimeter I'm u... |
