Using Altimeters-It's Easier Than You Think. Presented by Bernard Cawley during vNARCON 2021.
Have you wanted to fly National Rocketry Contest (NRC) altitude events, but don’t have any experience with electronic altimeters? Or perhaps you’ve tried an altimeter for sport flying, but you’re looking for pointers choosing and using them in NRC models? This presentation will show ways to integrate the three currently-NAR-contest-approved altimeters that are best suited for NRC events into your Altitude, Payload Altitude or Eggloft Altitude models. I will also discuss each of the altimeters themselves, their similarities, differences and quirks, based on my own flying of all three of them for sport and in contests. I’ll also talk about how to get all the data they can offer out of them.
