About RCSpeedo
Turn your mobile device into an RC airplane speedometer!
Features:
Listen and fly! RC Speedo will announce RC airplane speeds after each pass.
Easy to use speed logging and email export! Create custom logs to store your speeds for future review.
Share your speeds! Instantly post your top speeds to your favorite social networks.
RC Speedo 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 RC Speedo 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 Android RC Speedo app runs on any Android device running version 1.6 (Donut) or higher. RC Speedo requires the device to have a built in microphone in order to operate.
The RC Speedo app works best with electric RC aircraft that have high RPM, high blade count propulsion systems. This includes EDFs, pylon racers, pusher jets, and similar airplanes. RC Speedo 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. RC Speedo will NOT work with helicopters.
RC Speedo 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!

Moto cliq with cm7. Works great! I have only tried it on my old crappy wing but was able to measure somewhat consistent speeds with it. Usually high 70's to mid 80's but once in a while it threw a 130 pr 180 measurment out? Could be my flying. Could be my motor. Who knows. Still a great app!

Great app! Seems pretty accurate when compared to a radar gun...within 1 or 2 mph... Thank you and keep up the good work!

Only works well with 'noisy' models or with high pitched motor noise such as found on Electric Ducted Fan planes.

This app used to work before it became HKdoppler. Whatever they have done to it causes it to fail miserably on almost every device. Rarely ever "hears" anything now.

I bought this based on seeing it on a mates iPhone. Ran them side by side. Mates iPhone version was showing a true speed of 120 mph. My s3 kept saying 60 mph. Kept tweaking settings but to no avail. Please fix for s3 as I like the app.

Tested against a Flite Test Youtube video where rc plane speeds are measured with a radar gun. Difference to that radar gun is +/-0-5mph. There is also variation for the same pass of a couple mph. Which doesn't make it an exact app but a very fun tool to see approximate speed.

Everyone I fly with is impressed to hear how fast their planes are going. Contest 4 speed record @ park. Checked against speed gun and within 5 kph.

What can I say it works! Its so accurate I would say that a pal has the same plane I do with the same setup and we are getting the same readings. Thing is we are a couple of thosands of miles apart. I think thats proof enough it works. Samsung captivate with gingerbread

The trial version is in the update, so you won't be using the free app very long before it stops. I'm happy with the original.

Works well on my Xperia X10i. Seems to be pretty accurate compared to my airspeed sensor on my plane. Also found this app is well supported.

Seems accurate (haven't direct compared a pass to another program tho). Most important to me is its very consistent, good to compare different planes.

...but after trying this on my HTC One M9 and Galaxy S6, all I ever get is 0.0mph. Refunded. Shame.
