RRC2+ Altimeter System
Just like the racing greyhound, the RRC2+ embodies all these core attributes... Simplicity, Power, Speed, Precision. The RRC2+ provides extremely accurate altitude measurement and mach-immune dual-event capabilities in a no-frills, easy to use package. Having adopted and fostered more than a dozen of these magnificent retired racers over the years, I wanted to pay homage to all my hounds, past and present..
The RRC2+ is a barometric dual-deploy altimeter, with a feature set for beginners and experts alike. The unit is extremely small and very easy to install and operate. It's programmed using a very straightforward DIP switch configuration method. No User Manual or documentation is required on the field, as all the switch settings are printed right on the altimeter itself.
The RRC2+ epitomizes the "buy it and fly it" altimeter, with a price point that your rocketry budget will appreciate as well.
