I'm an author!

Issue #293 of Apogee Components' Peak of Flight newsletter was published today with the feature article I wrote about mounting the AltimeterTwo for use in high-G rockets. This is the first time I ever wrote an article for anything, so I'm quite pleased. I should have included thanks in the article to my friend, Jamie, who provided substantial feedback when I asked her to review the article for me. I should also have thanked John at Jolly Logic for confirming details about the construction of the AltimeterTwo which were necessary to correctly design the mount. Now I just have to wait a couple more months before I can fly the altimeter in Flying Colors. Presently Tripoli Idaho is in its summer launch hiatus due to the annual fire risk here. Come on Autumn!

Supplemental and higher resolution photos of the build are available in this photo album:
