Hey all,
New member looking for some advice on staging electronics. I have had considerable help from Wayco in another thread on RRC3. However, I am still looking for ways to use my PET2+, since my RRC3 was initially purchased for dual deployment and I do not have the aux modules at hand.
Here are my questions:
1. I understand it is dangerous to rely air start solely on timers, but is there anyway that I could still use my PET2+ for staging? After all, the unit is designed for staging.
2. Is there anyway that I could trick an altimeter like RRC3 to trigger the main chute on the way up? Essentially making an altitude dependent air start.
3. I am also trying to think of ways to test my electronics. I am using a vacuum pump to test my altimeter, but I am not sure if that is the best way. And for the PET2+ timer, it requires at least 2G acceleration to trigger and I don't have a good way of accomplishing it yet.
4. I am also trying to figure out the event timing for stage separation and second stage ignition. What is a good time for stage separation BP firing and when should the sustainer motor ignitor be lighted?
