Yup, like putting two altimeters in an electronics bay with no vent hole or
improperly sized one.
I like the PF because you can fully test it. You can’t do that with the Raven.
You can run a programming test, but it doesn’t use the sensors in the test.
I would like to get a Missile Works and test it along with a PF CF. But, would
someone first explain this to me from the Missile Works store:
The Sport model has a recommended ceiling of 40,000' MSL.
It has the same 100K MSL max ceiling as the RRC3 Xtreme.

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.)

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.
