    A Few Rocket-Related Miscellanies

    Does anyone know how many pyro channels a Perfectflite HiAlt45K altimeter has? From the photos it appears to have two: one for the drogue and one for the main.

    Just out of curiosity, I also have a question for anyone who has a 75mm Gorilla casing. How thick is the nozzle washer?

    Also, I invite anyone and everyone to share photos of their 6" rockets .

    HiAlt45 - 2 pyro. There should be a pdf of the user's manual on www.perfectflite.com.

    You ask, I give. I know this is like the fifth time I've posted these pictures o this forum but here goes:
    Swamp Thing is 6" diameter, 12 feet tall, and 60 Lbs and flew on one K454 skidmark, and 4 I297 skidmarks to aprox. 3838 feet via missile works mini. The last picture is of the custom motor retainer I had made.

    Just one question, why do you need pictures of 6in rockets?

    My "YouBee" is a 6" diameter, 12' tall upscale of the Odd'l Rockets Break Away. It weighs about 15 pounds without the motor. I few it to about 1600 feet on a K motor at the January NEFAR launch.
