[NSRCA-discussion] Flight Coach - your F3A coaching aid!

[Anthony Romano]

Andrew,

This is very cool! Thank you to your team for all of this work. I am sure some will ask you if intend to sell a completed hardware package since many would prefer to buy something complete. I look forward to the day that something like this can be integrated into judging so we are no longer reliant on the human recollection of what 45 degrees looks like.

Anthony

Please check under the setup tab on the website

We give info to get a pixhawk mini and an omnibus f4 up and running

But any ardupilot compatible board with gps and sd writer should do the job... check the ardupilot website.....

This is free, and aimed at enthusiasts - there will be a bit of a learning curve....

Andrew

Yes, curious about the hardware required, didn't see any specifics at first glance.

We would like to introduce Flight Coach. A new tool for recording and analysing flight geometry aimed at the precision aerobatic disciplines F3A, IMAC, F3M, F3C and F3S. Flight Coach utilises recent advances in flight recording technology to provide high quality ribbon plots of your flights.



The software is FREE to use! And almost any Ardupilot compatible hardware (FC + GPS, with SDCard writer) can be used - you may already have the hardware somewhere in your model shed.



Flight Coach has been developed by a group of active F3A and IMAC pilots: Artur Uzieblo, Thomas David, Andrew Palmer and Russell Edwards. The plotter is free to use on our website and the hardware is low cost and widely available.



We have provided lots more information on how to get started on our website, along with the plotter itself and a sample log file so you can try it out.
