Looks interesting!
I am curious what people will say when they install the thing and find out that the aircraft they have been claiming goes 150 MPH is really going 120.
The speed claims posted in these RC forums tend to be VERY optimistic. And when challenged, people usually respond 'It was clocked with Radar'. If it was, it had a 30 MPH tailwind. When you find out the prop and RPM, you know the airspeed claimed is impossible.
I have a hunch that people will say the device is inaccurate.
For many of us here, speed claims mean nothing, they are just guesstimates, unless it is backed up with air data, doppler sound measurement, or radar speed measurement.
So when someone "says" they get 150 mph..... you will notice that those of us who understand what that sort of performance requries may question the statement and request some hard data ...... or simply take it for what it is worth.
This new little air data recorder looks nice. May be something worth investing in, and it is not that expensive.
The eagle tree system was pretty good. Good data, and the newer systems provide real-time flight data.
