Hi, I have a BIG problem on my quest for the Class B record. I can easily get my onboard camera, but I am living on a Third World country, so I am in a loss in altimeters.
Can anyone cite a cheap logging altimeter that:
-is one-piece
-tiny
-below 20 dollars (1 dollar is 45 Philippine pesos)
Surely the shipping fees aren't a problem (i'm not even thinking of it) but I NEED AN ALTIMETER badly.
Two commercial altimeters down (HK altimeter/ JL AltimeterTwo/Three)
And I could easily consider the Launchpad Altimeter, if TI sells it here (or if anyone's kind enough... HELP!)
Or a PCB layout of a logging altimeter, perhaps?

A water rocket is a type of model rocket using water as its reaction mass. The pressure vessel (the engine of the rocket) is constructed from thin plastic or other non metallic materials (usually a used plastic soft drink bottle) weighing 1,500 grams or less. The water is forced out by compressed air. It is an example of Newton's third law of motion.

I know this is a late reply, but see http://rocketsetc.com/altimeter-comparison/ for an up to date comparison of altimeters with varying sizes, costs, and capabilities.
