Flying Your Eggtimer TRS
Once you’ve programmed your Eggtimer TRS, you are ready for a flight. In general, a generic
flight prep procedure for a multiple deployment rocket looks something like this (assuming that
you’re using switches for deployment battery power, and also for Reset if you aren’t using an LCD
receiver).
If You HAVE an Eggfinder LCD receiver…
At Your Prep Table
Check ALL flight batteries with a DVM and replace/recharge as necessary
Double-check your Flight Settings screen to make sure that all values are correct
Confirm that any deployment power switches are OFF
Hook up any deployment charges with the computer and deployment batteries disconnected
Connect the Eggtimer TRS power battery… this will start the pairing sequence
Turn on your Eggfinder LCD receiver
Wait for the units to pair up… leave it at the Main Menu
Wait for the 1S light to come on and/or a verified fix from the Eggfinder LCD receiver
• DO NOT disconnect the Eggtimer TRS battery or you will lose your fix!
Close up the AV bay and get your rocket ready…
At the RSO Table
Prove to the RSO that the deployment channel(s) are disabled (along with showing them that
your rocket is flightworthy, of course!)
At the Pad
• Put your rocket on the rod/rail
• Turn on the deployment power
• Double-check your flight settings, then select SAVE and FLY
•Check the status on the LCD receiver…
• If it beeps and flashes, turn off the deployment power, reset the computer,
take it off the rail, and go back to the table and check your deployment igniter
The Eggfinder LCD will begin beeping, the display will start showing the GPS coordinates,
after a few seconds you’ll see the altitude go from your ASL altitude to zero, and you’re good
to fly!
• Hook up your motor igniter, get back to the flight line, and
• Move to the safety area, and watch your creation blast into the sky as the LCO hits the button
If You Get an Error Tone:
Carefully approach the rocket
TURN OFF the deployment battery power
Disconnect the motor igniter from the launcher
