Archetype Cable Cutter was created by hgreenblatt
Has anyone had any experience with the Archetype Cable Cutter ? I have my new Fatboy rocket that I would like to try it out on. The altimeter will fit in the nose and I thought it would be a good way to do dual deploy with that rocket at Amesbury.

Just wondering if anyone in the club had tried it out and had any tips, opinions etc.

Thanks

Take a look at the third video on the website (it's titled "slomo"). Does the scenery look familiar? It's Amesbury and it's my rocket. If you look carefully you can see how I almost spit the hybrid motor out the back.

I've used it a few times and it's worked great every time. If you haven't bought one yet you can borrow one of mine.

Excellent, glad to hear you have had good success with them.
I already ordered a set. I just have to figure out how get the altimeter mounted in the nose. Have you been using two (one backup) or just one?

Just one. If I had designed the rocket for it in the beginning I might have used two but I already have enough loose wiring without adding more to tangle things.

You, or the rocket? Or both? :P

I think we both know the answer to that.
