At XPRS last weekend, I launched a Wildman Punisher 3" on an L1000 motor. With that motor, there wasn't room for the normal electronics, so I bought a Jolly Logic Altimeter 2 and strapped that in.
The altitude reported was pretty much dead on with what was simmed at 15,665' AGL, but considering my rocket came back to Earth I'm pretty sure I didn't do 22,102 mph as indicated on the altimeter.
What would cause this? This was a brand new unit, pulled out of the package a few minutes before the flight. Battery was around 80%, and there was a port in the air frame.
