I really haven't thought much about flying EasyMini above 100k' --
lacking any additional sensors, you're essentially flying a timer. As
you say, you might be able to get it to also perform recovery if the
flight didn't go as expected.
Thanks. I think we will try this route.
EasyMega, with its ability to detect rotation, would be a far better
choice as you could program it to fire the apogee event when the
airframe tilted over by more than 90 degrees. This is a very reliable
indication of apogee, and fails only when the rocket back-slides.
EasyMega won't easily fit in our ebay. That being said, I'm kinda
concerned when and how the rocket finally tilts over (probably a good
bit after apogee, given the low density atmosphere and maybe some spin)
and for how long the tilt detection stays accurate (gyro drift on
extended flights).
