Get rid of your aussie accent? :-)

Honestly, I really wanted voice recognition to work for this, but given the environment at the field, it just doesn't, even when it works 100% perfectly at home it doesn't work at the field with wind, etc. the processing capabilities of the phone are just not enough to handle a good language model that will recognize anyone's voice and all the options beyond the Carnegie-mellon project I'm using depend on a really good internet connection (like Siri does) to do the voice recognition which introduces too much latency to be useful in an RC Calling scenario.

I strongly recommend the tilt methodology (experiment with the trigger and reset angles to ensure it advances when you want it to and doesn't advance when you don't want it to) -- I used that successfully at the field for a full season. I do also sell a bluetooth device you can hook up to an open channel on a spare receiver (bound to the same model memory as your plane's receiver) to control the caller. That works perfectly.
