+
+Keith and I are pleased to announce the immediate availability of EasyMega
+v1.0!
+
+[EasyMega](http://altusmetrum.org/EasyMega) is effectively a 
+[TeleMega](http://altusmetrum.org/TeleMega) without the GPS receiver and 
+radio telemetry system.  TeleMega and EasyMega both have 6 pyro
+channels and enough sensors to lock out pyro events based on conditions
+like tilt-angle from vertical, making both boards ideal solutions for complex
+projects with air start or multi-stage engine ignition requirements.  Choose
+TeleMega for a complete in-airframe solution including radio telemetry and
+GPS, or EasyMega if you already have a tracking solution you like and just
+need intelligent control of multiple pyro events.
+
+EasyMega is 2.25 x 1.25 inches (57.15 x 31.75 mm), which means it can be
+easily mounted in a 38 mm air frame coupler.  The list price for EasyMega
+is $300, but as an introductory special, you can purchase one now through
+Labor Day for only $250!  This special is only good for in-person purchases 
+at Airfest and orders placed directly through Bdale's web store.
