I was doing some comparative altimeter testing to give some info to one of the makers. Here are both sides of the 1/8 balsa "sled". Altimeters were mounted with small nylon screws and nuts, and the ION's LiPoly cells were held with velcro. The FS Mini was just stuffed in beside the others in its little pouch. Multiples of the other two were to wash out any individual quirks on any given flight.Your thread was what inspired me to build this one! Can I ask, why so many altimeters on one flight? Do you have pictures? I feel like I'm basically at capacity with a single telemetrum so I'd love to see how you crammed all of that into a similarly sized e-bay.
I'm hoping the -6 works tomorrow. If I had a -8 I'd go that route but since the sim says I'm good I think I'm gunna go for it with the -6. The other thing is my model is considerably heavier because of all the fiberglass and epoxy so I'm assuming i'd want an earlier ejection than a stock star orbiter. Closed out the top and bottom of the rocket this morning.
Putting final touches on the ebay today and then it's go time!
Dealing with all the beeps post flight was pretty crazy, but I eventually downloaded the data from all of them so I could keep it straight.
For you I agree a 6-second delay will be enough, since your model is simming to only about 60% of the altitude of a stock Star Orbiter on an F15.
