Coast

Drag-free coast 274.0 metres to apogee at 274.5 metres after 7.5 seconds
Actual apogee at 68.03 metres (223.2 feet) after 3.08 seconds

So I'll set the delay for 2 seconds because I don't think it calculates the time the parachute takes to unwind.
2 sec sounds good. I was just looking over my 2 liter/100psi altimeter chart, it hit right at 2sec to apogee.
Oh sorry that was at 90psi. At 100psi apogee was about 3.5 sec.

I have one, haven't used it yet. I can't just buy toys and kill them. I have to buy them and then wait for some part to break.

Why not, the last "walking" Easter egg I got for $2 was crushed under my foot to the point that it fell apart but the spring thiny tomy timer wasn't broken.

Because it makes my children cry when I smash their toys and rip out the guts.

When an adult who has young children buys a toy, it is automatically for them. And they saw Toy Story. You would hurt little Turtlie? You're like that meanie Sid. :-)

How do they know it is for them if you never show it to them.

I said that about stuff online. They don't want me to order stuff without them knowing. Besides I was talking about how would the kids know if you didn't show it to them.
