Default CoPilot for Palm Pilot ??

Hi guys,

Just got me a Palm pilot and have downloaded some software for it. I'm
particularly interested in using it for loading etc..

Ive come across a program called "CoPilot" and it seems pretty good (for
a freebie). Anyone else use this program, i'm having trouble setting it
up for use with R22 and R44 aircraft..

Any other loading software anyone recommends ???

thanks,

Jad

I use co-pilot all the time, and it's terrific. What problems are you
having adding the R22 and R44? (helicopters or homebuilt planes?)

What sort of trouble? I don't know if it's an issue, but CoPilot doesn't
do left-to-right weight and balance, and I read somewhere that
left-to-right is important in helicopters.

Have you discovered the waypoint generator at http://navaid.com/CoPilot/
yet?

You can dummy it up though. Create an aircraft R22A, and put in
left-right stations as if they were front-back stations. Do both
calculations (relying on the front-back for total weight envelope) and
if you are ok for both "aircraft" you should be good to go.
