Headspeed Tachometer is used to measure the headspeed of your r/c-helicopter. The sound of the blades will be analyzed and the according headspeed will be calculated. Using Settings you can choose between standard (rpm up to 4000) and micro sized (rpm up to 8000) helicopter and setup the number of blades between 2 and 5. Before starting the measuring you have to set an estimated headspeed. You can expect most accurate measurings if set inside the range of +/- 500rpm to your real headspeed. Works with electric and nitro helis without changing any settings. For best results please follow these instructions: Make sure you have not too much side noise like strong wind. After setting an estimated headspeed place your phone on the ground 1-2m from your helicopter. Press the "Measure headspeed" button and walk to a save distance. Spool up the helicopter to your desired headspeed and wait about 20 seconds. After the blades have come to a stop retrieve your phone and press the "Stop measuring" button. Now you can read the headspeeds during the measuring. You can save the result to the log history using the menu option. If you enable the option "Save log automatically" logs will be saved automatically after finishing measuring. Touch a log entry in the log history to view saved results. Long touch a log entry to send the entry or delete it. Use log menu to send complete log history. We want to increase accuracy and compatibility of this App. So please help us and send feeback to [email protected] Please supply information about the phone and helicopters you measured the headspeed. If you have any problems measuring correct headspeed please contact us at [email protected] We will give you instruction about how to enable debug mode. This mode will write data to your SD card which can help us find a solution.
