Ah, right, your the I record EasyMini guy! I'm still blown away you found that thing without tracking. Well, that's my assumption given you were using an EasyMini. That being said I could easily be wrong as you allude to flying it with GPS as well. If I can be so bold do you mind sharing what your GPS solution was for your I Class Record flight? And was that a GPS Tracker/transmitter or just onboard GPS position logging for confirmation of peak altitude?
I'm sure you understand how confusing it is from the outside looking in that you claimed the I Class Record with no tracking and yet want to fly a G Class Record attempt with GPS! Still, who am I to judge, your I Class Record Flight was a monster! If you do get the TeleMini speaking GPS I'd love to see that documented if you feel like sharing. I'm going to be grabbing another TeleMini soon, my v1 got lost on a F Class Record flight down here in Australia. Last packet I got was just north of 5,800 ft on a CTI F51 and then she went silent. :/ Never found it. I, like you, much prefer the accuracy of GPS for locating rockets when compared to fox hunting.
