I spent about 15 minutes of precious launch time wandering through thick brush looking for my new astrocam today after it's maiden voyage... Any suggestions for good rocket locating sounders/flashers/radar beacons?
on another note - this was a brand new kit and it has two MAJOR issues
1) camera module is missing parts or instructions are wrong - the shutter does not "c*ck" 2) launch control box missing fingers for continuity key to interlock - remote is useless as key cannot complete circuit and it is a sealed box so I cannot just unscrew it and fix it.Kind of pissed me off to be sitting there for 30 minutes building and debugging my ready to fly rocket kit. I was not expecting the camera module to be such a flimsy Piece of Crap. Were the original astrocam's as crappy or is it just the new american way of doing things by farming the work out to the lowest bidder to maximize profits?
I would be willing to pay the proper price for MadeInAmerica. not an inflated "gourmet" price but the acurate price reflecting the costs of not going with foreign components/slave labor.
