I fly Stratologger CF and Quantum. Like the fast access to data that the
Quantum gives and the failsafe mode of the Quantum. Both seem very
reliable.

I never had issues with MissileWorks except for what might be classified
as “user error”. But all my MW hardware is 1st generation, before the
manufacturers started offering stuff like auto Mach detection and better
data and programming options. So I can’t offer an informed opinion on the
latest generation. My user error problem with the PET2 was rather
embarrassing… In wiring up an air start flight, I *assumed* that the
terminal blocks were positioned with channel 1 above channel 2 (despite
being labeled the opposite way on the board!). I will leave it to you to
imagine what happens when you reverse the outputs for backup apogee deploy
and air-starting 2 K’s! (Spoiler: It wasn’t pretty.)

I like the Strato CF/Raven combo because the Raven uses accelerometer data
too.
Haven’t used Missile Works stuff since using a PET2. What a pain to
program. Hopefully, the altimeters are easier to work with. Is there an
application to program them?
I’m curious how reliable people think the Missile Works altimeters are.
