Another 97,000 + ft Balloon with APM2 and 3Dradios

3689462910?profile=original3rd time for this APM2 and 3DR radio combo ! The temps ranged from 100 F on ground to -51 F at one point in flight.

We did have a failure on the 3DR radio at -51 F. Radio died and won't come back.

We used the APRS.FI tracking as well and it showed great.

As you can see, there is NO insulation in our fiberglass box. Cameras on outside have no insulation.

All electronics worked for 3 flights now and still work (except the 3DR)

Sparkfun datalogger worked this time. I need to DL the APM2 data yet.

  • Hi,

    I launch my glider with the balloon this week. I'm not sure yet what mode should I switch on the APM 2.0... Should I simple set the RTL mode?
    I do my launch on friday at 05:30 am and hope to get some very nice pictures and my plane back than.

  • Glider is put together. Shooting for mid July.

    Dont know about frost. Should put a camera inside with an led light.
