I am reading the eggtimer classic manual, and I am starting my FIRST EVER two stage MPR/HPR project, a LOC Terrier to LOC Sandhawk.
Is the Classic well suited to this?
I appears 'all' I have to do is enable channel B and set the time I think the booster will burn, and a delay after that before CH B will fire. The extra delay being long enough to let the drag separation happen, but not too long lest the sustainer heal over.
This SEEMS to be mode 6 of the classic? I know mode 4 is using a breakwire AND the burn time of the booster. But I am not sure of the difference from mode 5 and mode 6.
So I guess I am simply askin' has anyone out there used an Eggtimer Classic (v1.5x) to control a two stage rocket? The booster will be motor eject with a JLCR for the chute at 300'
The sustainer would be ignited by the Eggtimer classic's channel B AND the 'A' channel would deploy the laundry with yet another JLCR for the 300' deployment
No?
