At your launch and recovery point, what does the 3600' MSL translate into as above ground level? Does the barometric altimeter adjust for pressure altitude? Although looking at the telemetry panel, it looks like there is a GPS function. Is the altitude truly MSL (barometric) or is it AGL based on a GPS calculation?
This is fascinating stuff.
