Greetings all!
I've decided to take the leap from small 'E' size rockets into the 'High Power' realm. I've purchased a Madcow 4" Frenzy with 50" chute, 12"x12" chute protector... and a removable altimeter bay (haven't purchased an altimeter, yet). Delivery of my rocket kit is estimated to be two days from now. I can't wait 'til it gets here!!!
My first question is rather simple, however. It's confusing to me, being somewhat ignorant at this point in the game. 'Electronics' have me befuddled. I not only want dual deployment capabilities, but also some input as to the proper size of a 'drogue' chute that I should use, for primary deployment, prior to the main chute blossoming. I'm clueless as to what I really need. Additional electronic 'bells and whistles' don't scare me. I really wouldn't mind an accelerometer, tracking capabilities, etc.. "Sooooo,"... what would you folks recommend? Simple altimeter to fancy 'bells and whistles'... I'd truly appreciate your feedback/suggestions for all types of systems, where to buy them, etc.!
Thanks,
Tom...
