rcFlightbook
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
rcFlightbook is a very useful utility for all remote controlled helicopter and airplane pilots.
Finally you’re able to manage your flight information anywhere and directly after the flight. The time for taking notes manually at the airfield to copy them onto your computer at home, has passed.
You keep track of the management of all your models and batteries, which allows you to get the necessary information about the batteries’ life cycle, the time of flight and the current consumption of each model.
rcFlightbook may allow you to work with multiple pilots, models, batteries and flight locations.
If your device features a GPS receiver, the geographic coordinates of your flight can get stored via rcFlightbook and will be found the next time automatically.
rcFlightbook is specially designed for iPhone and iPad, in which each device owns an optimized operator’s interface.
The lite version is limited to only one pilot, one model and three batteries. As well the GPS functions are disabled.
New features in version 1.2
- With this version you can use two batteries per flight, to handle battery packs like 2x6S for a 12S model.
- Each model may have its own maintenance interval. When the number of flights up to maintenance are achieved, you will be warned to maintenance the model first and the model is marked in the model list.
- You can enter flight times up to 9hours and 59minutes with a separate slider button. This was a wish from glider pilots.
- There is a flight timer in the misc tab. The timer can count up or down. When counting down, you can not only enter the time, but also a reminder beep every X seconds as well as an alert beep when there are less then X seconds left. If you use an iPhone and vibration is active, the device will vibrate as well. After the time has expired or by pressing the stop button, you can insert the Flight immediately with the correct flight time. You can also pause the timer and restart it with the pause button.
- Creating a new location or edit an old one, you can now add address information automatically from GoogleServices if you have an active internet connection. The location can be shown on a map as well, as be placed manually on the map if needed.
- In the misc folder you can take a look at a map with all your locations and send an email to your friends with an automatically generated GoogleMaps link to show them the location on GoogleMap.
- The list of flights has a toggle button to show all flights or only the flights of the current year. This makes the list much clearer and raises performance
New features in version 1.3
- When selecting a battery, while adding a flight, the battery list will scroll to a valid battery for the chosen model.
- You can enter the internal resistance of a battery after each flight now.
- The last used charge power for each battery is saved and recalled any time you use the battery again.
- When selecting the flight time, you can now move the wheel from 0 to 59 seconds directly by scrolling backwards.
- You can save and recall 3 presets for a flight time.
- Adding a flight, you can choose one of the last 20 years directly with a slider.
- In the location map you can now edit the locations as well.
- If there is no location at all, the actual location will be shown in the map
- Fixed and extended the plot to show internal resistance and second batteries correctly
- The second battery is calculated correctly within flight time, flight count etc.
