Garmin DC-30

[MikeSModerator]

Just ordered A DC-30.

I hope ❓ the half dozen or so people that offered
to loan the Astro and training for a couple short uses,
during this years flight season, are still willing.

thanks MikeS

Absolutely. I’d be glad to loan you the handheld (and help you set it up) if you want.

[MikeSModerator]

Thank You.

I usually bring mine with me. Just be sure to make a heads up post prior to launch.

I’ll even show you how the thing works. It is really simple and a lot of fun to boot.

Now… I went and read most of the past posts.

Many options for installing the DC30 into EBs.

This will be going into a five inch rocket. Plenty of room.

Would it be wrong? To put it into a four inch by nine inch G10
coupler with an eye bolt on one end, to attach to the shock
cord.

And a small hole at the furthest edge for the antenna.

Yes it would hang with the nose cone below the chute.

Would not hit the ground with any more force than deep inside
the rocket.

It then could go from rocket to rocket.

And I would not modify anything.

It is very robust as is.

Or am I not being cautious enough?

Ring in please.

My DC-20 is mounted flat on a bulkhead with the antenna going straight up into the nose cone on my 5″ bird. Even uses the same mounting screws.

If you’ve got that much room, I’ll trade one of my DC20s for the DC30 😉 😉

I’m still working the details of cleanly dismantling the DC20 down to 38mm. I know it’s REALLY close.

Mike,

I have the Astro setup as well, let me know if you would like to get it connected before hand.
