Page 3: Welcome
Welcome Welcome to FlightSketch! Thank you for your purchase. The FlightSketch Mini is the result of not being able to find an altimeter that met our needs. We wanted smaller, lighter, cheaper, & easier to use. We wanted something that we could (and would) put in every flight. But, there is always the chance that the way we fly is different than the way you fly. -

Connecting To The Altimeter To connect to the altimeter, ensure the altimeter is turned on and select the “Connect to Device” button to open the Connections window. Your altimeter should appear in the device list with a unique identifier. Tap the name to connect. A green “Connected” label will appear after the altimeter is connected. -
Page 6: Arming For Launch
Arming For Launch It is recommended to arm the altimeter for launch when the model is fully assembled and ready on the pad. The altimeter uses a launch trigger of 10ft altitude and 30ft/s vertical speed. It is possible for pressure changes during model assembly or wind gusts to activate the launch trigger. -
Page 7: Downloading Data
Downloading Data After launch, the app will need to re-connect if the model has flown father than the RF range (~100- 300ft). This will happen automatically as long as the Bluetooth radio has not connected to another device since arming. If it does not re-connect automatically, follow the above connection steps to re- link. -
Page 8: Saving & Uploading Data
Once the download process is complete, you will be given the option to save the file locally to your iOS device, or upload the data to the FlightSketch flight log service. If saved locally, a csv text file can be found in the Files app under “On my iPhone” in a folder named FlightSketch.
