I got a full boat app. for this puppy.
Need 2 channels for air starts, 1 for main and one to controll light patterns, if want I've heard is true it will take up that task very well.
Money,s in hand and waiting!
Add the igniter board for about 15.00 and it will do ALL that + more....besides the standard dual deploy. That enough for you Don?
I just flew the second round of alpha units over the weekend....all I can say is WOW. Many improvements over the first alpha unit,including more accurate altitude reading and now bullet proof bounce protection for us twist and tape guys!
Don't get too ancy guys.... we are working all the bugs out so when they do come to market there are no complaints or regrets. it just happens the cats out of the bag and you can follow along on the progress & development of a all new altimeter in real time. Heck the beta units are yet to come!
It's unheard of for an altimeter to be alpha tested to such great lengths as this one is. 4 of us beating the crap out of these things trying to find every flaw, so there aren't any by market date time.
Then the betas come out in final configuration for the brutal testing. Jim's trying to give us fliers what we really want for a change, listening to every detail we discuss. It's a thing out beauty to have this much inter-action with a designer for once.....AND changes are being made as flights continue. Not necessarily changes needed due to flaws, but changes that make the thing EASIER to USE! This is what we all want.
I just hammered one to 9,000ft in a Vindicator on a K-590 6 grain CTI dual thrust....awesome.
For all you old RRC2 fliers, the new RR32 will be a snap to fly and get used to. Just like putting on an old pair of shoes.....well broken in and soooo comfortable. Very, very similar to the RRC2, but re-invented and will do so much more, but only if ya want it to. Leave it alone right out of the box & you will think it's old home week, hook it up stick it in a rocket & go fly it. Mach immune [nothing to set] main at 500, your done! Want to change main altitude...no sweat, dip switch[like the old one] and a button. Push it 6 times 600 ft. 9 times 900 feet. That simple!
Then for all the young bucks and electronic junkies, you will be able to play to your hearts content. This thing can be set to do so much stuff and the graph flight viewer is just plain awesome. It would take me an hour or 2 of typing to go into all that. Tons of usable data can be retrieved and siphoned through. But once again....if ya ain't into all that... no worries... the basic function is so simple it matters not.
Buy it......and fly it.
Wanna play?....ya don't have to pay!
It will be user capable for all those things at one price for everyone. I cannot overemphasize the simplicity of this thing, yet the complicated stuff it will do, but only if ya want it to. Just perfect for 95% of all of us. The ease of use and reliability of the 40-75 dollar units we all have been using and raving about combined with the graphing/data capabilities of 150-300 dollar units for around 75 bucks. The RRC3 will set a new standard.
