I'm working on a data recording system:
Altitude.
Pitot Airspeed.
2 axis Acceleration.
Temperature....
RX battery voltage.
RX signal quality. (How many cycles have been missed)
GPS position
Compass heading.
The system will telemeter the data to the ground using a small
Amateur Radio on 70cm or 440 Mhz. (2 Meters is also possible)
The overall dimension for the complete system will be 3.7" x 2.2 " x 1.1"
and 170gm.
All of these weights/sizes do not include the battery, 6.0 V at < 200ma.
A lot less battery is needed if you don't need the GPS.
I'm developing the system for my own use.
If there was enough interest (10 people) I might be persuaded to build and
sell the systems.
The realistic selling price for the complete system would be about $1K,
not including the Laptop on the ground side .
