Hi guys,
I'm trying to do a really simple drogueless dual deploy rocket using only a perfectflite timer. The challenge I am running into is determining the appropriate delay to set the timer to for the parachute deployment. Ideally I would use an altimeter, but I'm not sure I'll have enough space in my nosecone for my current altimeters, and I'd like to keep the price down at least initially.
Specifically I was planning on using a chute cord cutter, to keep the chute either either in a burrito or reefed. Open Rocket can simulate decent rates for parachutes given dimensions, but has nothing on reefed or drogueless recovery.
Suggestions welcome!
