I wouldn’t mind an accelerometer in ADDITION to the baro sensor as long as the baro sensor is the primary trigger for deployment.Jim,Would you be considering a more complete suite of features including data download and so forth? Perhaps an…   Read more»

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»

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.Warren

Give me a couple days and I’ll get a page up with the rail dimensions and some other related technical details.Warren

We have a little Blacksky rail that should work for that. Maybe 3/4″ at the biggest and possibly smaller.Warren

If it weighs more than a pound, you have no business flying it off a rod. Rail guidea and rails are the way to go. While NCR does maintain a nice selection of rods from the smallest 1/8″ rods up…   Read more»

I’ve flown Apogee F10’s off 3′ and 4′ 1/8″ rods with no problem. The only problem I’ve ever had is getting them to light.Warren

Give me a price….Warren

Sure you can – as many times as you’ve got rockets to lose or destroy.Warren

I did my L2 with dual deploy and redundant altimeters, charges and e-matches. I wanted to make sure I could do it before I started spending money on an L3 project.Warren

Great report… sorry about the bird… remind me to tell you about how I found a borrowed transmitter without the rocket and without an antenna someday… and Kyle, you really need to work on your punctuation, spelling and grammar. Good…   Read more»

I don’t think we’ll need to worry about dryness, at least for MHM. Beyond that is questionable of course, but given that March and April are typically the wettest months of the year in the Front Range and Plains, I’m…   Read more»

I can help you out or better yet, you can see Jim Amos at his booth (the AMW vendor onsite) and have him give you the look see while you’re doing it.Warren

I know of at least 3 people who’ve said they’re flying their SSSS bird at MHM.Warren

I won’t be flying my SSSS or SSS this early in the year – I usually try to fly in June/July/August due to the added advantage of hotter, thinner air and less drag. Besides, I haven’t even started to build…   Read more»

Sure – even better, ask Joe Hinton for one of the stickers if he has any left. There are even bigger ones available from the printer, but I don’t have the contact info for him handy.Warren

I’ve already got a Loki 54mm case and a K350 load so I’m a ready customer if you start carrying them.Warren

I’ve got one right here. Feel free to call me and come by today. I’m in West Longmont near 9th and Hover.Warren

I mount the drogue within 2′ of the end of the booster section and the main 2/3 of the way to the nose. My booster shock cord is typically 2 or 3 times the total length of the rocket and…   Read more»

At that weight, I’d be inclined to pop your main at 1000′ or higher. You’ll be coming in at a pretty zippy rate with that small drogue, which isn’t a bad thing, but it will have some serious velocity. You…   Read more»
