RE: Log book setups and ideas please.
I simply have a Microsoft Word doc for each aircraft, containing a table with columns for date, # flights on that day, cumulative # flights on the airframe, cummulative # flights on the engine, and any issues and/or corrective action taken. The latter is useful for e.g. seeing how many flights it's been since I last lubed the brakes, when did I last cycle or replace batteries, etc.
