SuperCub Flight Tracker via iPhone
Here's an example of what you can do with a HZ SuperCub and the EasyTrails app on an iPhone. I started the app, tucked my iPhone under the rubber bands that attach the wing and took a few laps with a nose-heavy plane. With the phone on top of the wing the plane was fairly difficult to fly. The nose kept wanting to point at the ground and the elevator wasn't nearly responsive enough for me to be comfortable keeping it in the air. There will definitely be more of this type of footage coming, with the phone mounted underneath. Stay tuned...
