New job, new home, not much flying

September 14th, 2010 4 comments

It’s been a while since my last RC flight, but for a good reason: I’ve relocated to California, got an exciting new job and haven’t settled down completely yet. I hope to find a nice RC club and get back to flying soon!

MyRCLog.com – logbook for RC

April 6th, 2010 No comments

I’ve come across a website called MyRCLog.com — it’s a logbook for RC planes, helis and cars.

For each flight you record, it lets you enter what pre-flight changes were done to your model (such as “changed gyro gain to 76%”), what you’ve accomplished on that flight (such as “first time flying inverted!”) and some notes (“blade tracking still off, must measure linkages again”).

It also keeps track of your battery usage, flying fields, flight durations, etc.

I’ve just started using it and here are some screenshots:
