Hi all,
Recently, I had an altimeter failure. When I examined the examined the installation, I found the (+) lead from the battery broken about 1/32" from the terminal screw on the altimeter. The screw was tight and the wire simply fatigued and finally broke during launch as shown on the post flight data graph. I'm contemplating ways to prevent movement of the wire at that point during R & R of the altimeter and alunching. Is there any "potting" compound that would work that isn't conductive? Thanks for any ideas.
