    Making a Rocket Capable of L1 and L2 Cert

    I built a fiberglass Super DX3 for my L1 and L2 flights. I planned for and did them back to back. I used motor ejection and a JLCR to get dual deployment. By design, the flights had very similar performance. The highlights of each flight are in my signature block.

    Best Low power kit that will carry an altimeter 3 safely ?

    I misspoke. I went back and looked and the flights I did were all on B6-4s. The altitudes were between 174-262 ft. The variance is due to the launch angle and winds. The altimeter is held in place by a piece of foam, above and below. There are two holes for vents and I also use them to...

    Best Low power kit that will carry an altimeter 3 safely ?

    I bought an Estes Air Walker to fly my AltimeterThree in. It fits great in the clear payload section and goes to about 175’ on a B6-4 or 260’ on a C6-5. Fun to play around with in a small launch site.

    Rounding or Knife Edging G12 Fins

    G10 or G12? I've only seen G10 sheet. I've used a carbide round over bit in a router and the finish comes out nice and smooth.

    Estes Der Red Max Discontinued

    Wrong part number! The Estes DRM is kit # 651, not 652. 652 is the Citation Patriot. 651 is active and available on the Estes website. https://estesrockets.com/product/000651-der-red-max/ That's one of my favorite kits, you had me all freaked out there for a minute. ;)

    L2 Recovery Options

    The last high power launch I was at, there were over 14 L1 cert flights. Winds were generally <5mph all day. A majority of the people simply put the chute out at apogee. In low winds, how far you have to walk depends a lot on the trajectory of the rocket. Not using a JLCR takes one...

    L2 Recovery Options

    Here's some data for you. I did my L1 and L2 on a fiberglass Super DX3. It weighed just over 11 lbs sitting on the pad. I flew it with a I284W on my L1 attempt to 1198 ft and a J420R on my L2 attempt to 1766 ft. Both flights used motor ejection and a JLCR for dual deployment. I used a Jolly...

    Where to Find Screw-Type Terminal Blocks?

    That would be similar to what the Avionics Bay Kit shown here does: https://www.featherweightaltimeters.com/av-bay-components.html

    Where to Find Screw-Type Terminal Blocks?

    Those blocks are for mounting to a PCB, correct? I was wondering how you attached the wires from the altimeter to them. I'm referring to the Mouser.com part # 651-1984633.

    Where to Find Screw-Type Terminal Blocks?

    How do you connect the wires to the pins on the bottom? Do you just glue the block to the avbay lid?

    Featherweight Tracker Update - Build 127

    That worked perfect, thank you. I did 2 flights that day and there was only 10Hz data for a single flight. Does it only keep data from the last flight? Just so I know to download it each time in the future. Is there something somewhere that explains what the different columns of data...

    Featherweight Tracker Update - Build 127

    I did the update to FIP version 127 last week and flew it this past weekend. When I download the data file, the data is only sampled at 1Hz. Why am I not seeing the 10 Hz data? Below is a cut and paste from the TIME column in my data file. 42:42.3 42:43.3 42:44.3 42:45.3 42:46.3 42:47.3...
