I am still downloading the software for the first time so I've not tried it yet. I had considered creating a similar program until a friend pointed me here - but with one difference: A black box of electronics that goes into the model and an interface to the software.
This box could record engine temperatures and rpm, volts, amps, rate of volts decline, altitude, aggregated flight times.... and much much more. You get the picture.
The box could be connected to a laptop to "debrief" the model after each flying session. The box could even ban further flying until critical parts were replaced (e.g. clunk tube, NiCads.)!
The box would be set-up initially via the PC interface of course. If such a box existed, with supporting software and interface, I would buy one for each of my models. Am I completely nuts or would anyone else like this too?
By the way I have seven helicopters (nine after Christmas
