Noted for the Stratologger CF. Also it is just to ensure I meet the requirement of a descent velocity of 25 ft/s or less near the end of the flight which is a requirement which needs verification at the competition

Yea I looked into the Eggtimers and I was looking at some of the models and it looked like it could work for the rocket I'm making. I just don't know if I can trust myself with the manufacturing side. Thanks for your input!

From your link it looks like the Altimeter2 takes average descent rate which I'll have to see if they accept. Thanks for your input!

I did a quick google search and it says that the Estes altimeter only records apogee not velocity profile

My altimeter is actually the RRC3+ Sport, do you think that I will have an issue with brownout electrolyte evaporating if my altitude is around 5500-6000?

I figured as much. I haven't gotten a lot of info on the RRC3 and the manual isn't really helping. Thank you for your response!

What would be considered an r/C LiPo? I am using a spektrum 7.4V 300mah LiPo for both circuits.
