Altis Nano

Product Description

Aerobtec’s Altis Nano is their latest ultra miniature logging altimeter. It only weighs 6 g (0.21 oz) and is suitable for F5J and F3K models, and all RC aircraft and other flying objects that want to record the barometric altitude of the flight. The 0.3 m (1 ft) altitude resolution available using the high quality pressure sensor is much better than possible with GPS technology.

The Altis Nano is identical to the Altis V4+ except it has a smaller screen and one (not two) extension ports.

Restarts
The default firmware as supplied is F5J legal (V5.1 as I type) so the motor cannot be used again after powering off. However the user can easily update to V1.1 which allows restarts.

HyperFlight Safety Warning
There is discussion of the Altis causing power loss and subsequent crashes in this RCGroups thread, see especially post #24 onwards. The consensus is that the crimping is potentially unreliable on both the Altis and the ESC wiring and the best way of improving reliability is to wire an additional positive and negative wire from the ESC to the receiver in parallel to the Altis.
