Going back to the original post from Chris, here’s a link to the most recent
TRF thread on the availability of PF altimeters:

Richard,
I would guess it's trying to differentiate between published specs for a
device used on the board, and how that device works in real life
applications, specifically in an altimeter used in a rocket. It's probably
trying to point out that above certain altitudes, deployment that's a few
seconds early or late probably doesn't impact "safe" deployment. So, using
it for deployment will work, but using it for accurately determining peak
altitude isn't realistic.

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.
