User reviews

Incredible app and serves a great purpose

Hate that its not being supported. I think this is the easiest swash leveler but the tool was near impossible to find and app needs support.

Devs won't update the app.

I know it's expensive. But I don't expect to have to look at the crappy input dial forever. Update the damned app. If you intend to run a business, you need to take care of business.

Perfect, needs update for sizing

Perfect! I love my Soko, it was last updated a long time ago and could use an update for the new sizing on phones. I just hope that a new iOS won’t make it unusable because it hasn’t been updated in a long time

Great tool

Super accurate for flybarless setup once you figured out how to measure the virtual shaft properly.

But PLEASE remove the checking with Apple to verify we bought the app. That blows.
Come on we bought the tool and the app already. Stop torturing us with the Apple login.

Great app if you follow directions.

I have used this app with the additional virtual main shaft feature to set up a couple helis now. After initial set up the helis have been spot on set up and have not needed any adjustment. There is a short learning curve but if you just take the time to read everything as you go it will go pretty quick and smooth. I will continue using this app for all my set ups.

FAQ

What is Soko Heli Toolbox used for?

Soko Heli Toolbox is designed to help users precisely set up various aspects of RC helicopters, including swash plate level, blade tracking, and pitch angles. It aims to reduce setup errors and speed up the process for all sizes and brands of RC helicopters.

Does Soko Heli Toolbox require the Soko Kit?

While the app is designed to work seamlessly with the Soko Kit for an optimized setup, the virtual main shaft feature allows for accurate head geometry setup even without a physical leveling table. The app provides instructions for a perfect setup each time.

What is the Virtual Main Shaft feature in Soko Heli Toolbox?

The Virtual Main Shaft feature calculates the tilt of your helicopter's main shaft in 3D space. This eliminates the need for vertical alignment and a physical leveling table, providing a virtual 3D model of your heli's orientation for precise setup.

How accurate is Soko Heli Toolbox?

The app provides precise setup by accounting for the helicopter's orientation in 3D space. For example, if you aim for 12° collective pitch, the app may instruct you to set a different angle on the gauge (e.g., 15.2°) to achieve the desired 12° relative to the main shaft.

Is Soko Heli Toolbox free to use?

Yes, Soko Heli Toolbox is available for free. However, it does offer in-app purchases, which may unlock additional features or functionalities for users.
