To Lance and others using CFS, the data that Jeff Sanders is referring
to is the log file that is generated 1x every second which can be downloaded from
the Chelton. There is a software program available that allows you to
view the previous 5 flights; everything from flight characteristics and path
plotting to review of engine performance. Peter Stiles and I used this
software to review Lee Behels engine performance at the Reno Air Races after
each race. It proved to be very helpful in setting up his engine.
In addition, it allowed him to “see” his entire path over the
ground around the pylon course. The software is by Pegasus and is sold
through Chelton. It is expensive ($499) but works well. Some
Chelton pilots download their log files and archive them for later reference. If
you have any questions about the software or the data-logging feature, you are
always welcome to contact me directly.
