Default RE: Flying log.

As I said above, if software doesn't help me out then I won't use it. The FLight Log software has helped me more than just tracking my flights. It helps me keep inventory of parts, which has saved me many times from going out and buying a part that I already had on hand. It let's me track my hardware such as engines, radios, receivers, servos, and such. This is very handy to keep track of the usage for all of these items. But the biggest advantage for this software is printing out a listing for my insurance agent. Most everybody's home oweners policy will replace stolen items, or items lost to fire, storm, etc. However, what most don't know is that there is usually a limit to what will be replaced on a standard policy. By taking the printout to my agent i was able to see that I didn't have enough coverage to replace everything if it was all lost. A simply rider on my policy now has everything I own for the hobby covered. One last plus for a system like this, you can have a simple printout to check things if they are stolen. You know exactly what was stolen, and the serial numbers if there are any. This program is much much more than simply logging flights.
