Anyone out there still flying this altimeter?
I have a 10 year old ALTS 25. It is a second generation unit with the 4+ deployment options like they do now. It has flown twice ever. First, for my L3 cert and second last year.
Both times the Adept deployed the main early.
It was set for 1200ft and it deployed more like 1600 ft. My newly installed ARTS2 confirms that it fired at 1600 and the main blossomed at 1500.
The Raven also backs up this data.

My rockets usually fly naked. If they survive, they earn their paint.
Come fly with ROSCO or ICBM in Orangeburg SC => http://rocketrysouthcarolina.com

Sounds like a calibration hiccup...Email Tommy , I am sure he will want you to send it to him so that it can be re-calibrated...

No probs with any of my Adepts and they have been drug thru hell and back. Tommy is a great guy and stands up for his boards-no matter how old. Give him a ring. As matter of fact-I'm flying the first batch altimeter he made prior to the move to CO at Plaster City two weeks from now on a test flight.

97% of the time, I'm right-the other 5% doesn't bother me.
There comes a point in your life that looks just like all the other points you didn't notice either.
If I had a nickel for every dollar I spent on rockets, I'd have more rockets.
You may have had more fun in your life than me, but the chaos was undeniable.
