Scott,

On your sucessful flight, which used motor deployment, you said the test you werre doing with your new Missileworks RRC2-mini controller didn’t fire the backup charges. Did you find out if that was a setup or programming error? The setup sequence on those are not as simple as the other devices, and I am concerned because I bought two of those myself last week to reduce the space taken up by my two RRC2X’s.

I think it might have been some of my home made matches were bad, but I dont know for sure. I havent really looked at it yet.

Im in the process of building that vucume chamber we talked about in another post. It will be complete with a vacume pump (auto Ac maintanance pump) Digital Altimeter and blead valves so a launch can be fully simulated, right down to knowing the altitude your main will deploy at. Its a 1 foot cube, so hopfully a whole electronics bay can be slipped inside, matches and all. (no powder) 😯
Probly cost a couple hundred dollers to build before its all said and done.
No Chrome this time though.
Its going to take a couple of weeks, on account of Pinewood Derby season. 😉

When I get it finished anyone is welcome to use it.
