which reminds me that its a good time to get the solvent bath out and clean my bulkheads and terminals of BP residue.... I usualy do the "u" on the end of my ematch as well, sure does secure better in the terminals i get from mcmaster. I bought some knock off ones from the shack, and they dont have the plated "crimpers" just a screw contactor, seems to me runs better risk of cutting the wire when you tighten it. I bought the short ones, so maybe i can solder some 18ga stranded leads.. which i will have to do to make ignitors. The 3" motor has a 20" core.
I am having to re-wire the whole thing, since my last altimeter would mount larger wires, I used some 16ga machine tool twire. (since it has really good properties). This won't do for the telemetrum. Is there any way to check that the accellerometer and baro-sensor are working prior to flight. ESD has gotten me before on another altimeter and the Baro was not working properly, so i always verify the baro sensor prior to flight... ususaly with a straw, so i can see the change in rate.
