Rocket related post - sorry !

What's the deal with Olsen Electronics? The FCP-M2 has really caught my eye....however.....the olsen website is not showing any info on rocketry related electronics:

and i dropped the guys at rocky mountain rocketry an email and got no response:

Can anyone answer these questions:

Is Scott Olsen still designing rocket related electronics?

Is there any support, upgrade path for those that own the FCP-M2?

Are there any new products expected from Olsen?

Any comments from those that have experience with the FCP-M2 would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone got a FCP-M2 to sell me?

Happy flights this weekend!

I'll sell you a barely used Olsen FCP-M2 for $130 including shipping and software. It has one flight on it. I can accept Visa, Mastercard, check or money order.

Thanks, Mike Fisher Binder Design

Is there a particular reason why you only flew yours once and want to sell it? The reason I ask is I scored one 4 years ago when Olsen had a sale for a 100 bones but I haven't flown it yet. You don't hear much about them(considering the lcd display is awesome). I'm hoping to get it in the air soon but if there are *issues* with them....

I've gotten away from flying barometric only. They lose accuracy above 20K'.

I'm now stocking the Ozark ARTS, a much better unit, comparable to the RDAS, but better in many ways. Don't look for them on my website...They're not on there yet.
