Wildman Rocketry is excited to announce that they are the exclusive US
distributor for AED electronics and the R-DAS line of flight computers.

At the same time, Wildman is announcing availability of the new R-DAS
Tiny. Tim Lehr says, "We have just received our first shipment of this
exciting new model, and they're already almost sold out! Our second
shipment is already on the way."

The new R-DAS Tiny sells for $305 and has an exiting set of new
features. The most important ones are:

    * Four independent igniter output ports
    * Dual axis accelerometer
    * Small printed circuit board (28x80mm / 1.1"x3.15"), fits in 29mm
rockets!
    * USB interface: super-fast data download
    * Reduced power usage
    * More storage memory
    * 16x more processing power than the Classic/Compact

100% Backward Compatibility

    * Compatible with all expansion boards
    * Same user interface

USB download and configuration

Super-fast downloads are now possible thanks to the USB interface. A
full memory download now takes less than 12 seconds! The R-DAS Tiny
comes with a USB cable.
More data memory

The data memory is more than doubled. Here are some data logging examples:

    * 29 minutes of acceleration and altitude data at 200 samples per
second
    * 8 minutes of 8 analog channels and digital status at 200 samples
per second
    * When using lower sample rates the storage times become
proportionally longer!

Modern micro-processor

A long term advantage is the modern micro-processor and the large amount
of program memory. The processor is 16x faster than the one used in the
Classic/Compact and has 8x more program memory. This enables us to
implement new features in the future.

information on this exciting new offering, as well as the range of
add-on boards available!

Rebel Rocketry will ship prepaid freight to the US For $298.00 USD. That's
what they quoted me a couple of weeks ago.

Based on AED's price, I did a conversion of Euros to Dollars on it
about a week ago and it was over $300.  A Loki ARTS for $180 will
serve the same purpose for (my guess) ~ 90% of people.  Isn't Rebel in
Europe?  If so, $7 difference will probably be eaten in the difference
of shipping costs between Rebel & Wildman.

That depends on which features you feel are exiting.

Hmmm... could those be the features that are being discontinued?

Now if one could only find a product with a set of features we could
get excited about. :)

Not bad.  Personally, I think I'd pay a little extra to deal with
someone "local"  and ask Tim to match it or better yet get an ARTS.
