I want to use a microAlt in an M powered Level 3 rocket. Which model would you recommend?
Neither! The microAlts were designed to be small, accurate, data logging altimeters for smaller rockets. In order to keep the size down and get accurate and fine-resolution data, the upper altitude limits were set at 4600 ft and 9200 ft above sea level. This is sufficient for the type of rockets for which they were intended (small!). If you’re going to launch to 15,000 feet, break Mach, and invest thousands of dollars in a large rocket you should fit a larger (and probably more expensive) product into your airframe and budget. Check into our miniAlt series, available late Spring 2001.
