Auggie's RC Heli Toolbox, designed by and for RC Helicopter pilots it's a courtesy of AEON RC. Designed by RC Helicopter pilots. Includes AEON info pages and access to the AEON site. It also includes an innovative interactive head speed calculator, an Ultra High precision Pitch Gauge, a talking Flight Timer, a GPS based Altitude and speed Recorder in case you have an old iPhone that you want to strap to your helicopter or airplane and find out what the maximum speed was or to calculate the air density for adjusting collective pitch in high altitudes, a Units Converter to help conversion between measuring units, Access to the AEON RC manuals directory to easily find your AEON Product manuals and your tail servo speeds and frame rates. Below are the sections explained: Interactive Head Speed Calculator section calculates head speeds interactively by sliding the dots and finding the desired head speed. It uses both one and two stages (2 gear and 4 gear). Ultra-High Precision Pitch Gauge section is used to measure the incidence angle taking advantage of the very precise accelerometers present in today’s phones and using the high-power processor present in the phone to do high-speed digital signal processing of the accelerator’s signals. The get pitch gauge mount button will take you to the page of the Ultra-High precision Pitch Gage phone holder. Altitude and Max Speed Recorder section is used to show the altitude of the flying field so that pitch changes can be made accordingly and if you have an old small phone, you can strap it to your helicopter/airplane and record the maximum speed it does while flying. Units Converter section is used to make unit conversions in the most commonly used units in the RC Heli Hobby. Talking Flight Timer section is used for pilots that either don’t have timers or who want a more feature-rich timer for the flights. We hope you enjoy this free App courtesy of the International AEON RC.

Read full description

Harry's Dyno is a high precision performance measuring app. It utilizes GPS and OBD sensor input to recognize arbitrary speed ranges like 0-60 mph or 100-200 km/h. Both acceleration and deceleration testing is supported. Results can be compared and analyzed in details. Using two-cursor mode, one can inspect subranges of data recorded (e.g. 80 to 120 km/h for a 0 to 200 km/h). Data is stored locally and can be filtered by speed range and vehicle used. It can be exported to various data formats too. Provided the smartphone is mounted in a position with good GPS accuracy, the internal GPS can be used for measurements. For short speed ranges, high powered vehicles, and highest precision, either external GPS or OBD sensors can be connected. OBD adapters are actually preferable as speed changes are available instantly. We have an always up to date list of compatible accessories available here: www.gps-laptimer.de/compatibility/ios For distance based performance testing (quarter mile etc), please use Harry's LapTimer currently. This mode will be added to Harry's Dyno as a free upgrade shortly. For Harry's LapTimer users! Harry's LapTimer GrandPrix has received a free feature upgrade and includes Harry's Dyno functionality now: please follow LapTimer ‣ Race ‣ Performance to use the dyno mode. In case you have used Harry's LapTimer Petrolhead so far, you may either upgrade it to GrandPrix (LapTimer ‣ Administration ‣ Add-ons), or go for Harry's Dyno as a separate app. Enjoy and let us know what you think!
