PayPal refused to work but finally made the order with CC.
I lost my MultiRoc this morning. I got one good flight out of it.
Those fins look vulnerable to damage when landing. I'm visualizing attaching them an inch or two upwards so that the motor bears the landing impact. Thoughts?

I’d love to see the wiring for that ignition! That is gonna be one exciting launch!
A four motor clip whip would make ignition hookup a breeze.I'm working on the cluster ignition. All motors have to fire or it will all end spectacularly.
I use an 18 inch parachute on the Protostar and it's always landed softly. I plan on the motors ejecting themselves somewhere during the flight so it should be at normal weight other than a couple of ounces required up top to balance the added engine weight.

I just used coupon code "launch2022" (1/18/2022 - 3:30 ET) got 25% off entire order - thanks for the tipCoupon code launch2022 was good for 25% off on top of the 25% sale. And the coupon was good on the entire order. I was bummed that I missed the Sunday half off sale due to traveling, but it worked out and I loaded up on a few of the sale rockets
Use these,I’d love to see the wiring for that ignition! That is gonna be one exciting launch!
From the Ion manual:Eggtimer Ion?
WiFi enabled flight logging altimeter.
$20, you do the soldering.
Don't know what data file format it uses but you can ask.
Don't know if it's in stock, website doesn't say.
Fair points, and I'm planning on ordering one to try out.Since you have to solder it together, making it as small as humanly possible isn't as important as making it easier to assemble. We use larger components and space the parts farther apart than what you would do if you were designing something to be assembled with a pick-and-place machine. Note that it has a buzzer on it, and WiFi, so of course it's going to be a bit larger and more power hungry than something that just blinks an LED to let you know it's "on"... but it's MUCH easier to get the data out of it too, you don't need a cable or even a computer, just your phone.
I'm not questioning the choice and I look forward to giving one a try....as I seem to collect altimeters anywayThere's a tradeoff between Bluetooth BLE and WiFi. BLE uses much less power, but the range is less than WiFi and you need to write an app for each type of client device that you want to use it with. WiFi takes more power, but the range is better, and you only need a browser... no apps/Internet, etc. That means that I only have to write software for one device, instead of 3 or more. It also makes troubleshooting a lot easier.
