RCSpeedo is a speedometer app for EDF's, pylon racers, pushers, and other hi-speed electric radio-controlled airplanes. The application performs doppler analysis on the sound of an RC airplane passing in front of the mobile device’s microphone. This method of finding an RC aircraft's speed was pioneered by RC enthusiasts to accurately calculate the speed of a radio-controlled airplane using a clean sound clip of the airplane making a speed run past the pilot.

With RCSpeedo the process is greatly simplified: just bring your phone to the field and hit "listen". As you make passes with your favorite airplane, the app will report your speeds back to you in real time!

The iOS RCSpeedo app runs on iPhone 3 and above, iPod Touch Gen 4 and above, and all iPad devices. RCSpeedo requires the device to have a built in microphone in order to operate.

RCSpeedo works best with electric RC aircraft that have high RPM propulsion systems. This includes EDFs, pylon racers, pusher jets, and similar airplanes. RCSpeedo currently will NOT work on planes that are extremely quiet, operate at low RPM's, turbines, most nitro planes, and planes with no propulsion system. It also cannot detect aircraft traveling slower than 25 MPH.

RCSpeedo is not guaranteed to “hear” every pass. Ensure that the settings are correct for your aircraft and try to make straight and smooth passes. Please consult the manual page at www.rcspeedo.com for more information on settings and features. The makers of this app are not responsible for any damage caused to your phone, plane, or self while using this app. Fly safe!
