I've got an Altimeter One. I've used it a few times in my Magician, (to 1834ft!) and put a hole in the clear payload bay. While most of my other rockets are showing their age, I'm still not big on poking holes in the BT's for venting.
Long story short, can I just tape it on the outside of the rocket?
In 'testing' the altimeter, I found blowing does not affect it, where as vacuum does. So, if taped to the outside, would it ignore the air rush of the launch, and then measure at apogee?
Maybe I could tape it opposite my keychain cam...?
