CPR 3000 System

What is CPR3000? The most complete Close Proximity Recovery System. 

 The following information is "As stated on the Public Missiles, Ltd. website; "  for more info use the hyperlink provided below.

What is CPR? CPR is an altimeter- or accelerometer-based, two-step parachute or streamer deployment system, using a dual-deployment altimeter or accelerometer. The first chute is deployed by firing a black powder charge. A small drogue or streamer is deployed at apogee allowing for a fast but controlled descent. At approximately 400/800 feet, user selectable, the altimeter or accelerometer fires a second charge deploying the main chute, allowing for a soft landing.

The altimeter or accelerometer is centrally located in a special compartment within the main airframe. The drogue chute or steamer  is ejected from a split-point in the airframe just above the fin/motor section while the main is ejected at the nose cone. Both chutes or streamers are deployed using PML's  exclusive Piston Ejection System.

Just two simple yet strong anodized aluminum parts hold the altimeter and ejection charge cylinders as a self-contained unit. Prep the assembly on a table, slip it into your rocket, screw the airframes together, and launch. Once assembled, the altimeter/charge cylinder assembly can be easily moved to another CPR3000 rocket, making it easy (and cost-effective, since you only need one altimeter or accelerometer) to fly CPR3000.

Update Oct. 16 2000 After purchasing more items, such as another section of PML's Quantum 2.125" airframe tubing, I have installed the upper coupling into the upper airframe, along with the lower coupling into the 24" mid section airframe, using 20 min. epoxy. The unit works great! Now I am waiting on G-Wiz to deliver the LC 800 deluxe for further assembly of the CPR 3000 system.
