Digital Altimeter

A must have for all rocketeers! And a great price too. The Estes Altimeter has a 4 digit LCD read out and displays in English or metric units. Accurately measures model rocket launch altitude from 0 - 9999 feet (0 - 3000 m) and can store up to 10 consecutive flights! Includes replaceable alkaline battery.

Customers who purchased this item said:

" If you want your measurements to be accurate you are required to drill 3-4 1/8 inch holes 2 inches below where the nose cone attaches on the rocket."

"Good job... for making a reliable and durable altimeter!"

"The altimeter itself is slightly bigger than a BT 20, so it won't fit in smaller rockets. That's not really an issue if you ask me, as smaller rockets are easier to lose. Beyond that, you have two choices in how to attach the altimeter. You can either put it in the payload bay of your payloaders or you can use the included hook to attach it to the eyelet of your rocket`s nosecone. Do be careful if you use a payload bay - one flight, the altimeter broke through the tape I used to keep the nosecone attached and the altimeter fell 400 feet to the ground. Now I only use masking tape. The other thing you should know is that you will need to drill several holes in your rocket to allow the altimeter to get accurate measurements. If you really want your rockets to be pristine, maybe you would rather just use this with payloaders."
