Ok
So I ordered my astro coller. Wait till my wife sees the bill on her Amizon account! Mike said that there are 2 or 3 recievers in the club that could be used. I will probly buy a second coller, and reciever before Octoberfest, after the good summer roofing season is over. Till then I hope someone will loan or track my flying dog coller for me in my new rocket “Hair of the Dog” 🙂 🙄

Oh and Hey! I thought of the name way before I bought the coller! All rights reserved! 8)

I’d be happy to let you be on my unit. Let me know if you want to get together before hand so the Astro 220 handheld will “identify” Hair of the dog. We can test your installation at the same time as well. Or you can just borrow it for a bit. 🙂

My number is 3– 921-8709

Mike, Ill call you in a week or two. Got to get the taxes out the door first. Then I hope to turn my attention to rockets. Maybe by then I can have every thing mounted and ready to test. thanks

I ordered two of them Saturday after I got back from the launch. Too cool an idea.

Another misidentified rocket part.

A fantastic idea.

Not only a mis-identified rocket part, but cheaper than a Big Red Bee plus receiver, FAR cheaper than an ARTS or an RDAS or any of the other made-for-the-purpose rocketry GPS units. Likely to have at least 7-10 miles range in line-of-site for a rocket in the air. Biggest problem is the receiver antenna and circuitry on the Garmin base unit. With a Yagi, could probably squeak 15 or 20 miles out of the thing.

Mike installed it in his 3″ bird with the only mod being an antenna cable. By pulling the guts out of the waterproof and rugged housing, I think he said it would fit 54 or maybe even 38mm? Mike?

Sure wish this had all been known to me before I bought the Rinos. I’ll see how they work soon.
