So will i see altitude or not with this ?
Or can i modify this unit at home to see altitude ?
thank you

Is the altitude function enabled in this unit or not?
I'm confused since Robert Baumgarten wrote the following in his review:
"The Altitude is only logable if the Unit is specially modified by the manufacturer before delivery to the customer."

Maybe he is thinking of the fact that you have to cut your own #2 hole in the front cover. I guess not, because there should be an active #1 sensor hole on the side of the unit.

Was this the best answer? YES | NO

Can USB Flight Data Recorder be connected to the LCD-screen? (MicroPower PowerPanel LCD Display). It is not written anywhere, so I guess not. But - many MicroPower gadgets fit the USB Flight Data Recorder, so it should not be impossible to implement such a function...

This Unit takes the measurement/model check up possibilities to a next level. Let me first give the Reader a short overview on whatīs possible. The built in measurement Options are as follows:
- 4x Servo Channels (full Travel)
- 1x Temperature (up to 210 Degrees Celsius)
- 1x RPM via magnet hall sensor
- 1x Receiver voltage (receiver battery)
- 1x Speed via Pitot Tube (up to 460 Km/h)
The Altitude is only logable if the Unit is specially modified by the manufacturer before delivery to the customer.
But there are plenty of other Datas to log and these will make this System really versatile. The most common ones might be the following ones:
- Amp draw, with different modules up to 300 Amps
- Brushless Motor RPM Sensor
- G-Force Module (ever wondering why something was broken during the flight?)
- Servo current logger
- higher temperature measurement of up to 1090 Degrees Celcius (great for on board control on a Jet Plane)
So letīs go deeper into it, the system is relatively easy to use as all external sensors and measurement Units will be attached to several (very clearly described) ports on the Main Unit. The Data Logger should be fully built into the model and be left there unless you want to use it for more than one model. The cabling is the main mechanical issue to hassle with. All units have cables that have to be routed between the Data Logger and the Measurement Place, this could become serious in a big Plane. But several tests (on various Electric an

But several tests (on various Electric and Nitro/Jet Planes) showed that the small data cables where not able to generate any big glitches on the receiver signal.
Therefore the system could be used (or especially here) in very high cost planes - like jet powered ones.
The basic functions are often used and could help to eliminate any issues with the servo connections. But if you do not only want to know how fast the plane is going and want to optimise the overal power you will love the AMP Draw Modules as they could help (in Co-Work with the Driving Battery Voltage and the Motors Temperature) to select a suitable Prop for the Plane. The use of the Brushless Motor measurement Unit would be the next step. The Unit has two small cables wich will be connected to the main Power Line from the ESC to the Motor (NOT Inline, just parallel). The RPM readings are very accurate and could help to archieve a given goal much better.
The next logical step would be the measurement of the Speed and G-Force at a given Speed or flight situation. This Step is recommended for all users who want to built a big or a special plane as the forces during a flight are really high. We found out that in some cases forces of up to 27G will be reached on some Jet Planes. This helped us a lot in making the machines better and more durable - imagine a break down/crash only due to a wrong thickness of a servo mount during the flight!
The Datas are displayed in digital or analog Units (round Instrumen

The Datas are displayed in digital or analog Units (round Instruments) on the Computer Screen and the Software allows us to display them in several ways. Therefore there is an almost 100% "See-Through" when testing or optimising your Models. Off course the Software (and the mounting skills) need a little practise in order to get everything out like you want, but this Unit is really extremely helpfull, especially when used together with the optional wireless data transfer unit called "Seagull". Just a thought for all other Users: This Unit can also be used in many other applications, such as boats, cars, robots a.s.o.
The Data Logger could be outfitted with all the needed Units to really see what is happening in the plane/model, therefore it is the best "gimmick" for all pro-pilots and teams or technically interested hobbiysts.

This is my second purchase of the FDR! Last WE I fly (maiden) a Discus 2C glider 5m span and all the records where very usefull and in particular the flying altitude!
In fact on our club airfield whe are limited at a flying altitude of 150 m. What a surprise when reading the datas from the FDR: I was almost above the limits! The maximum altitude was close to 500m!! In that case the FDR is for safety reason not only usefull but must be a mandatory equipment and next time I will set an audio alarm on the dashboard!

| This is a very good tool to see what happens inside your plane during the fight. Good speed sensor and altitude sensors.

| I was almost going to buy a V3 Logger instead, but two things changed my mind: When I put the Data Recorder in the shopping cart the price was considerably lower than listed here, and the Data Recorder has rate of climb information, and a variometer function when used in conjunction with the OSD Pro. |

| Is the best , off and with , telemetry data collector, for RC use |

This system my the best decision. I try it in my all airplane, and I can chose for my brushless motors the best prop with this system.
I can see current of motor, RPM, lipo V, speed.. etc in same time.
I suggest an "Electric Expander - 140 Amp" for this kit and "brushless RPM sensor".
