RC Sailboat & Model Sailing Guide

iPhone Wind App

I got send this link to this really cool gadget for the iPhone that could be very useful to a lot of RC Sailboat captains.
It is a iPhone Application and when you want to know the current wind speed, you just hold your iPhone in to the wind and activate the app.
And it converts between mph, km/h, knots, fps, m/s, and Beaufort.

Click on the picture and you can view their video showing a comparison to a regular hand held wind meter.

Have fun. Wish I could be there.

I want to congratulate the RC Universe forum, which has now 400,000 registered members and is certainly one of the biggest and most active rc online communities around. It’s one of the forums I frequently visit, but for more RC sailing specific information I recommend to also look at t the rcgroups and the rcsailing.net forums.
