I think the HA45 said 24985 or somewhere in that area correct? This was the Sunday launch right? I was actually there for that one…..

Pretty impressive data layout. I’m looking forward to my Parrot. I started getting acclimated to it last night. It’s going in my SSSS and other min diameter birds.

Is there any way to shield them from the heat?

ED,
Too bad about your CF bird. That was a real bummer.

Thanks. Hope you have fun with it.

In case people are wondering what we’re talking about, I posted some data on John Wilke’s flight that someone moved to a new thread under contests.

Cardboard, foil, electrical tape, or paint have all worked for me before. John says that the av-bay had primer, so I was kinda surprised that didn’t do the trick. But plain, unpainted fiberglass or plastic aren’t enough to prevent being affected.

some clarifications… the ebay was plain, unpainted filabment-wound glass and the airframe was the same material, only that was primed with Kilz primer. The unpainted ebay was half-in / half-out of the primed airframe. I can’t recall exactly where the Parrot was at (under the primed part or the unprimed part).

FWIW, the HA45 read 23,949′.
