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.

Remember when you scribbled jump numbers on a napkin? Yeah, we've all been there. BASELog is the digital logbook that flyers actually want to use — no spreadsheets, no guesswork, just clean tracking of every exit, flight, and session you've ever taken. Whether you BASE jump, skydive, paraglide, speed fly, speed ride, or just log tunnel time between trips, it's all in one place. What's Inside Track Your Jumps, Flights & Sessions Log every jump with exit point, gear setup, type, conditions, aircraft (if you're into that sort of thing), and that epic (or not-so-epic) story in the comments. Per-sport numbering so your BASE count doesn't get tangled up with your tunnel hours. Your future self will thank you when sponsors — or your medical — ask. Manage Your Gear Canopies, containers, wingsuits, tracksuits, paragliders, speed wings, helmets, the lot. Log service dates and jump counts per item — because knowing when your rig was last packed by someone who knows what they're doing is kind of important. Create Gear Setups Save your go-to configurations per sport. Terminal wingsuit? Check. Cross-country paraglider? Check. That experimental speed riding setup you'll probably never use again? Also check. Exit & Location Database Catalog every cliff, antenna, span, earth object, dropzone, take-off, slope, and tunnel you've flown from. Heights, laser measurements, GPS coordinates, approaches with GPX tracks — the whole deal. Because "that one bridge in Europe" isn't helping anyone. GPS Performance Data Import tracks from FlySight 2 over Bluetooth, or drop in GPX files. Freefall time, deployment altitude, canopy time, glide ratio, G-force, speeds — all calculated for you. Match tracks to jumps automatically. Smart Features • iCloud sync across all your devices • Home screen widgets (Memory Lane, stats, and more) • Archive old gear without losing history • Default setups per sport for quick logging • Service tracking so you don't forget that repack date • Siri Shortcuts to export your logbook by voice • Import from CSV (FlySight V1/V2, BaseCC, and others) or export your full logbook as JSON Who This Is For Flyers who are tired of: • Forgetting their actual jump count — across multiple sports • Not knowing which canopy has how many jumps • Losing track of when gear was last serviced • Trying to remember exit heights from memory • Juggling three different apps for three different disciplines • Using Excel like it's 1995 Why BASELog? Built by flyers, for flyers. One logbook, six sports, zero nonsense. Active sports you don't fly? Hide them. Active sports you do? They get their own tab behavior, numbering, and stats. No unnecessary fluff. Just the info that matters when you're standing on the edge, walking to the aircraft, or clipping in on launch. Privacy First: Your data stays on your device and your iCloud. We're not interested in knowing where you jump or what gear you use. That's between you, your rig, and whatever legal disclaimer your lawyer made you sign. Actually Useful: Import/export your logbook, track gear across multiple setups and sports, and never lose your history again. Disclaimer: BASELog helps you track jumps, flights, and sessions. It does not make you a better flyer, prevent bad decisions, or replace proper training. Fly at your own risk, preferably with people who know what they're doing. Blue skies, soft landings, and accurate logbooks.
