Hello everyone.
After getting my L1 cert in December I haven't really touched HPR much. I plan to change that soon. Me and some friends will be building a Wildman Mach 2 kit that will be modified with a longer AV bay. Our goals with this are to get some higher altitudes, speeds, and experience with dual deploy.
Another goal is to continue development of my flight computer. I designed this device about a year ago and since then it has mainly been used for mid power rocketry and some active control stuff.
So far the flight computer has an LSM6DS03 to measure velocity and altitude, a barometer (will be removed for all these test flights), and a micro SD card slot to log data to.
I plan to add a GPS module to make finding the rocket easier and one of my friends is working on a telemetry system to add.
For the first flights I will have a COTS flight computer in control of parachutes.
As for flight testing I plan to start small to get additional testing done on my homemade flight computer.
Right now nothing purchased and I am focusing on software updates to my flight computer.
If you have any advice or you think I am about to step in it let me know
Thanks,
Walter
