My very first attempt to Dual Deployment was..... Ummm... ??? Interesting ???
Well the flight took a bit of a weathercock turn into the sun, so I didn't see anything until after the Main was deployed.
According to those that weren't looking directly into the SUN, the Dual Deployment went well.... Except.....
The whole thing landed in water...
The rocket is a Wildman Jr, so it survived the swim, but will the electronics?
After retrieving the water logged rocket, my son informed me that the Altimeter (Perfectflite Stratologger) was still beeping. I immediately turned off the power switch, and it is drying the rest of the way out.
My question is, "Will the self test be sufficient to validate that the altimeter is still fully functional?"
