This weekend at Red Glare was my first venture into dual-deployment, using a scratch built that incorporates PML's CPR system with a Co-Pilot altimeter. I had two successful flights on an AT J350W and J420R respectively.
The problem I'm having is reading the 'Last Peak Velocity' entry of the flight log. In both instances, I get 1 short beep, 1 long beep, 4 short beeps, 1 long beep, then the ending chirp. The velocities for the 2 motors should have been statistically different. I used the altimeter in 'basic' configuration with the main deployed at 500'. No default settings were modified. Other items in the flight log appear correct.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone who's used this altimeter could explain the results I'm getting, since they don't seem to match what the instructions say.
Thanks!
