In my 98mm mongoose I will be running a RRC2 Mini as my secondary altimeter becase I have one laying around. My other electronic packages are going to be a complete Loki kit (ARTS2, 900 GPS etc...). This is my first DD rocket (I know its a lot of rocket to handle and even more to lose) which is why I am doing extensive research and ground testing before I take it out next summer. Here is my question keeping in mind on my ebay (4" x 12") I have 2 black powder recepticles for the ejection charges:
1) I will be running 2 altimeters as mentioned, does this mean that I will need to run TWO e-matches to each BP recepticle (4 total)?
~1A) If so, is there enough room for all those wires? I only see 2 tiny holes for the leads to go through on the base of the
ejection charge recepticle.
If people use 2 altimeters with one e-match kindly enlighten me. The way I see it is if both altimeters work but I get a bad ematch, then all that prep work will be for nothing and I will lose a multi thousand dollar rocket. Logically it must be that people use 2 sets of ematches but I just dont see the room for the leads. I suppose one could always drill 2 more holes....
