Default Flight Logs?

I try to take detailed notes when I build a plane. Weight, engine, initial settings, prop, fuel, all parts (servos, receiver, battery, etc.) CG, and then I try to list, objectively, my honest opinion of what I liked and disliked about the plane. Then I can go back when I fly it next and review the notes and decide what to do, if anything, to improve the airplane. I use the flight sheet on the back of Great Planes manuals. I also try to record flights with each plane. How many, conditions, improvements, damage, opinions, etc. This way I find I have facts rather than conjecter. Do any of you do the same. Please share improvements, how you do this, etc.
Thanks,
Barry

I also log initial build info, any subsequent changes and each
day's flying. The format or method is not important. Do what
works. The important thing is to write it down so you are
not depending on memory.

I've been using this program for years. It will keep track of just about anything you want. http://www.lammers.ca/FlightLog/

I keep saying I'm gonna do the same thing. Been years now and nothin, lol. Sometimes I might have made a note after a flight, but I have no idea where I put it. That program looks interesting though.

Thanks 4 the link.

This looks like a pretty good idea. When you type it you don't have to worry about reading your own handwriting.
Thanks,
Barry
