Thank you for clearing that up Cris. I thought the fail safe on the Proton was
a default. Guess I should re-read that part! ;-)

The Eggtimer Quantum has the Fail Safe feature too. Note that it is NOT
enabled by default... you have to set the threshold velocity/time for it to be
activated.

Subject: [roc-chat] Parachute Deployment Using the Proton
A side note about the new Eggtimer Proton and drogue size. It has a feature
that will deploy the main (regardless of altitude) if it senses the descent
velocity is too high after apogee. So, if you have a small drogue or just
blowing the nose to bring your rocket down fast, you could be following your
rocket a LONG way if you don’t make the adjustment on the Proton.
The user manual is about 60 pages long; I suggest you read the entire manual
before using it.
