very cheap altimeter
hello, i want to know how high i'm flying, and maybe someone know some cheap altimeters which record altitude or something similar? i don't need something expensive, max. price about 15$, if there aren't any cheap altimeters, then maybe i'll try to build something with arduino

You may find something with the electric glider threads. Look under ALES Altitude limited electric sailplanes. $15 is pretty cheap, there may not be anything that cheap, but there could be.

Hi Razzion,
It is very subjective looking at a photo from a camera pointing in front of your aircraft. You may be lower, like 700 feet.
I'm just guessing.
For your reference; here is a photo looking down from about 1,000 feet above Madera, California.

At least two TX RX setups use a telemetry download setup.
Plug in something like this Jeti Telemetry Sensor Altimeter MAlti EX
And you have a readout on the tx lcd screen for more money you can have a talking tx telling you the altitude.
Gonna blow your 15$ budget though.
