Snagged me a Hurricane 38 at a recent Hump Day Happy Hour Sale. It is already set up for dual deploy so I figured it would be a good time to start getting into dual deploy. I also have a Partizon I plan to use for dual deploy. I am not going for super high flights but with restricted field sizes I don't want my rockets to drift too far. And I just like the idea of dual deploy.
Been looking around at altimeters. Would just like folks thoughts on or experience with some altimeters.
PerfectFlite StratoLoggerCF $50.00 records velocity, altitude and air temp and can be hooked up to a computer, smallest of the bunch, plus a location beeper built in.
Missile Works RRC2+ $45.00 small size, records velocity, simple DIP switch settings
Adept22 $45.00 about the same as RRC2+ without the DIP switch for settings but has more settings to be used.
Adept Rocketry DDC22 $35.00 no it doesn't have peak altitude recording but that's cool. This would probably make a good back up as well.
And then of course there is the Eggtimer. Would have to buy a new soldering iron probably or at least a new tip for mine. Then I have to build it. I like electronics kits but haven't done one in a while. Maybe later. Any programming involved with this? Haven't done programming since the '90s.
Seems to me the StratoLogger would be the best bet (more bang for the buck) and RRC2+ a close second for no other reason than the simplicity of it.
And on the Stratologger site they show how to make E Match substitutes with Christmas lights. Has anyone tried this? Successfully? I have Christmas lights and plenty of black powder, I may have to try this tomorrow.
Thanks folks,
Mike
