Telemetry & Data Logging for Planes/Helis/Model Rockets
Seagull Telemetry: Find out what's going on while you fly!
You’ve got a lot invested in your RC Plane, Heli
or High Powered rocket. Whether you fly nitro, electric,
or gas, you
can stop guessing about your model's performance
and condition, and find out what’s happening up
there when it happens! Simple
to set up and operate, but incredibly powerful, our Telemetry Systems (patent pending) install easily
to provide the information you need.
Seagull Dashboard mounts on your Radio
The Seagull Telemetry system has 3 main components:
Seagull Dashboard Telemetry Receiver - this unit displays telemetry data, and sounds alarms when problems occur.
Onboard Flight Data Recorder - this unit collects the data from built-in and external sensors.
Onboard Telemetry Transmitter - this unit sends the data from the Recorder to the Dashboard
These components let your monitor your model in 3 different ways:
The Dashboard displays the parameters you select, on multiple LCD pages, and also lets you program alarm levels for sounding alerts, i.e., low battery voltage.
The Dashboard also can connect (via built-in USB) to your laptop at the field, to display and record data with our PC Virtual Dashboard software.
The onboard Data Recorder logs your sessions to permanent memory, so you can download the data to your PC via USB when you get home.
All hardware and software is included to monitor airspeed (with included pitot tube),
altitude, RPM, temperature, 4 servo stick movements
and glitches, and receiver battery voltage.
Do you need even more data? Our Seagull Telemetry system is fully expandable, with a whole host of additional sensors, available below. Here are just a few examples of what you can do with additional sensors:
Monitor your electric power system with our Electric Expanders. These units measure power consumption with a small ring that is placed over one of your battery wires. No need to add an inline sensor!
Locate your lost plane with our GPS Expander. And, display your flight path on Google Earth, either live at the field or downloaded later, with the GPS Expander.
Monitor your Spektrum or JR Receiver's RF performance in real time, with our Spektrum FlightLog cable.Monitor wing loading with our Dual Axis G-Force ExpanderMeasure your Gas/Nitro motor's exhaust with our EGT Expander
Monitor multiple engines simultaneously with our Secondary and Tertiary sensors.
