Awww... #EngineeringFail on my part. My overkill battery will in fact kill my altimeter.

"The largest lithium polymer battery that should be used with the Raven is 1S, 300 mAhrs, because larger lipo batteries can produce currents well in excess of the 22 Amp rating of the deployment channels in the event of an output short circuit, which can permanently damage the altimeter."

Better to find out now, but that's back to the drawing board on my sled. #rocketry #HighPowerRocketry #RocketSurgery

The battery is a 7.4V 1200mAH quadcopter battery, which is definitely overkill, but my motto appears to be "anything worth doing is worth overdoing" and I'm leaning into it. #rocketry #HighPowerRocketry #RocketSurgery

It's getting a new sled (which itself took 5 or 6 iterations to get right) and a new altimeter, the brand new Featherweight BlueRaven. I'm waiting on some wiring connectors which should arrive today. Also has my new favorite switch, the Lab Rat Rocketry pull-pin switch. #rocketry #HighPowerRocketry #RocketSurgery

My current project, since I've decided to stop feeling guilty about jumping around between projects, and just do what makes me happy at the moment. I'm refurbishing an old (~7 years old) rocket, Black Widow. This is my favorite kind of rocket to fly, 54mm motor in a 75mm tube. But it's had some usability issues that required some more iteration. #rocketry #HighPowerRocketry #RocketSurgery

This should be good enough. They only have to stay on for a few seconds. #rocketry #highPowerRocketry #rocketSurgery
