Hey everyone,
Here is the tracking information on Little Blue Dawg. It starts out on line 250 as a reference. On line 256 motor lites. Line 258 were gone. Raven had a reading of 7401′ @ 554MPH which i think is very accurate to the DC30, if you look at lines 274,275, and 276 you see the MPH is pretty even, with height of 7467′, 66′ thats darn close. GPS didn’t stand a chance during the thurst.

Hi David,
Looking at that log, I’d say your apogee is on line 258 at 13102. If you subtract out ground elevation of 5400, you get an AGL of 7702. Still in the same neighborhood as the Raven, but a bit more than 66′ difference. Mighty nice flight all the same.
Play with it some more – you should be able to upload the track from the DC-30 through the Astro to Google Earth.greywolves
Hello,
I figured it out Ken, thanks. Here is the GPS track photo.

very nice
sserell
that is a fantastic plot! If its not too much trouble can you post instructions on how you accomplished the download from the dc30 to google earth? I have a dc-20 and would love to do the same thing but I am not the most computer literate! all help is appreciated! thanks, Sean

You should be able to plug your GPS (the handheld unit) in to the computer with a USB cable. Then, you can open Google Earth, go to “Tools” menu, then “GPS”. Select “Garmin”, then download. There should be an option to not pin the altitudes to ground level (otherwise you’ll just get a groundtrack).

Got to figure out how to do that.
Need to figure out how to store tracks for later download too.
The more I play with my DC-30 and Astro, the more I like it.

Thanks, I’m looking forward to trying that out after MHM. I too love the Garmin system – I just picked up another DC-20 for $90 off the ebay site Wilke referenced – brand new – arrived 3 days after the order. -Sean

Go to http://www.gps4us.com
They sell new DC-20 for $91.99 and free delivery, if you do regular shipping.
I bought a DC-30 from these guys. Got it in a few days. They accept MC/VISA and PayPal too.
Look under the outdoor tab, dog tracking.

My astro was set to record on default settings. Sean, If you have ever tracked with your astro there is prolly a track you can look at.
First trip out Asto recorded 756 points, takeing up only 17% in the “built in” memory storage.
So what is the smallest nose cone anyone has put a DC 20 into? was it a 38mm cirus dart? so many post
Thanks
