What's the really cool thing is that these foam planes survive, some
with speeds nearing Mach. Some have claim to have busted mach but I
have see no imperial data on that, very close, but no solid data.
The Pixhawk controller can do anything an RDAS or Perfect Flite and
Telus Metrum can do. It has amazed me at the resistance of the
"rocketry people" to borrow stuff from the "RC people" and the "micro
computer people".

Some of my flights have lasted almost 4 hours (plane drop from 100kft) so these have no trouble storing data in logs and you can review the logs in a very convenient way. But! you can also watch all the sensor data in real time via telemetry and record it on your ground station as well. No more excuses for not having data and none for not finding your rocket either. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [AR] Re: Flight Controller Features > From: Thomas McNeill <thomas.mcneill@xxxxxxxxx> > Date: Mon, January 11, 2016 3:53 pm > To: arocket@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > It would be nice to have high speed flash on it that allows for storage of > large amounts of data.
