My new Missile Works RRC2 Mini

[bayourat]

I just bought a new deployment controller to replace the one I destroyed in Manchester. I finally settled on the Missile Works RRC2 Mini. The features are great and the price can't be beat at $79 with free shipping. Here are the specs.

Physical and Operational Features
·Small "Mini" footprint (just 1" wide x 3.15" long)... 29mm capable
·Virtually all SMD construction with silicon resin conformal coating to prevent corrosive BP residue damage
·Sea Level to 40,000' MSL Operational capability
·Individually chamber calibrated using our new "Heise" absolute pressure standard (0.001 PSI resolution)
·Full HIL (Hardware In the Loop) calibration to null out operational tolerances
·Dedicated "large screw" compression terminals with dedicated power switch connections
·Easy "2 hole" mounting with 4-40 hardware

Functional Features
·Interactive menu programming and operation via pushbuttons and LED's... NO DIP SWITCHES
·All User setpoints are stored in non-volatile EEPROM
·2 complete setpoint "profiles" are available by the flip of a switch for programming or flight ops
·All flight data is stored in non-volatile EEPROM for post-flight recall, even across power cycles
·Complete on-board diagnostic capability

User Setpoints
·Main AGL - adjustable from 300' to 3000' AGL in 100' increments
·Mach Inhibit - adjustable from 0 to 31 seconds in 1 second increments
·Drogue Delay - adjustable from 0 to 15 seconds in 1 second increments
·Main Delay - adjustable from 0 to 15 seconds in 1 second increments
·Deployment Mode - adjustable for Standard Dual Deploy / Apogee Only / Main Only
·Operations Mode - Enable/Disable Low-Freq chirping, Power-Up battery/setpoint chirp, and LV lockout
·2 complete "profiles" of setpoints are available... setup each profile for different flight regime

Post Flight "Log" Data
·Peak AGL elevation (feet)
·Peak Velocity (feet per second)
·Time to Apogee (in seconds)
·Launch counter (cumulative total flight count)

Diagnostic Features
·Battery voltage on demand (volts and 1/10th volts)
·Current MSL elevation (in feet)
·Continuity Input Test mode
·MosFET Output Test mode

Made in the USA

I'll give a full report once I receive it and try it out.

I received my RRC2-mini in the mail today. I came with a free piece of Werter's Original Sugar Free Coffe Candy. Interesting. I can't wait to try it out.

That candy is pretty good, don't worry.

That was sent by mistake, it's supposed to be the ejection charge for a sugar motor...

Mmmm! It was good.

I've been reading the instruction manual and learning about all the features. One of the features that I like is that it has a "FOR DUMMY'S" mode right out of the box. It pre programmed in the dual deploy main at 500/1000 setup right out of the box. So you could fly it without reading the instructions. The two screw mount is nice too. Simple 2 inch center to center. Makes it easy to switch between rockets and/or sleds.
