<p>
As Bdale and Robert became more experienced in the hobby and started to build
and fly more sophisticated projects, we started to feel limited by the
-existing electronics products available. AltusMetrum was Bdale's first
+existing electronics products available. OpenAlt was Bdale's first
attempt to address this situation with a completely open hardware and software
design... other project have since followed, and it's cool to have help from
various friends!
