Altimeter questions.

$

Hello,

I have been flying rc planes and helicopters for a while now, most of them I build from scratch.

 

I was thinking that I could slap an altimeter to the planes to see how high they go, but I would like to build it myself.

 

I would like to ask if anyone here thinks that this is a project that could be done with a cheap g2553 or equivalent,

 

I have a BMP180 barometer, this could be used to measure the air pressure and thus we could get the altitude of the plane.

Also, I would like to add some kind of memory like an SD card to log the altitude and time.

 

Anyone have any comments, suggestions, or other MCU's that may be up to the challenge?

Thanks
