-Lots of people make electronics for use in hobby rockets.  This is a brief
-list of only the things we've actually used ourselves.
-
-First off, Bdale and friends develop fully open hardware and software 
-designs for rocketry avionics, under the name 
-[Altus Metrum](http://altusmetrum.org).
-
-We also fly commercial altimeters in some projects.  The cheapest off the
-shelf altimeter we've used and often recommend to beginners is the 
-[Missile Works](http://www.missileworks.com/) RRC2-mini.  At about $80, it
-gets the job done for simple barometric control of dual deployment.  Note
-that while early versions had a firmware bug that we believe is at least 
-partially responsible for Bdale's loss of his first L3 project, recent 
-versions seem fine.  For another $20, the
-[PerfectFlite](http://www.perfectflite.com/)
-[miniAlt/WD](http://www.perfectflite.com/catalog/MAWD.html)
-adds the ability to records the barometric flight altitude profile.  Both
-of Bdale's L3 certs flew with one each of these two commercial altimeters,
-and we often use the MAWD as a backup for our 
-[TeleMetrum](http://altusmetrum.org/TeleMetrum) units during test flights.
-
-The [BeeLine TX](http://www.bigredbee.com/BeeLine.htm) boards from Big Red 
-Bee are radio tracking transmitters that just work.  They require an 
-[amateur radio](http://www.altusmetrum.org/Radio) license, but we think 
-anyone flying big rockets can and should get one of those anyway!
