Altimeters
I have a standard PerfectFlite Alt 15K/WD altimeter and was just wondering if anyone had a good idea of how i could install it in a T12 FTC tube.

Re: Altimeters
You will probably want to make a bulkhead that runs down the center of the tube and secure the altimeter to the bulkhead using small screws or tie-wraps. If the altimeter is not secure, you can damage it because it will flop around inside the tube. Also, if the altimeter is loose, it can give erroneous readings or spikes in the data when it bumps around.Drag_Racer408a wrote:I have a standard PerfectFlite Alt 15K/WD altimeter and was just wondering if anyone had a good idea of how i could install it in a T12 FTC tube.

Don't forget to drill the appropriate size hole in the tube to allow the air-pressure to reach the altimeter from the outside.
You will love the readings you get from the altimeter, it will help fine tune your rockets.
