    RRC2+ above 40,000ft MSL?

    The manual says the recommended operational range of the RRC2+ is 40,000ft MSL, but it is 100,000ft capable. We are planning to fly to about 43,000ft MSL. Can anyone confirm that the RRC2+ will still operate apogee ejection charges above 40,000ft MSL? Or is it like the old MAWD that fired...

    2-stage flight this weekend

    Got a 2-stage high-power flight in this weekend and I figured I'd share the video. First 2-stage flight in 2 years felt really good after I crashed the booster (I'm a slow builder). Great weather at Tripoli Central VA, 7400ft up and it landed about 1000ft away. Motors were 38mm, EX J450 Blue...

    Why don't altimeters have in-flight power-loss recovery?

    Its happened to almost all of us who fly electronic deployment. Something unexpected happens and the altimeter suffers a hiccup in power that causes it to reset. My question is, why don't the altimeters have an in-flight recovery feature? I'm not aware of any commercial altimeter that has...

    MAWD crash with strange data

    Hello folks, Technically this is my first thread, so bear with me on this post. I crashed one of my good rockets on a supersonic flight to 9200 ft this past weekend and I'm trying to troubleshoot. The thing is, the data I got back from the unit is a bit strange. First, the peak...
