Tracking a live flight from the field
This summer I accomplished a project using two AIM XTRA units. The vehicle used a 54 mm L class motor to reach Mach 3.05 and 39,125 feet per the GPS - well in excess of the current NAR/TRA L altitude record. It had dual AIM XTRAs that performed flawlessly, with incredible parity of data between them. The GPS chips are fantastic!
