Quick guide to get started with RC Hangar 2.
## 1. First Start
1. If prompted, choose the app language.
2. If you have a backup of version 1 or 2, upload it from the menu -> More.
3. Create your first model from the menu -> Actions -> +Model.
## 2. Recommended Minimum Flow
To use the app well from day one:
1. Create the model.
2. Add the main components.
3. Set the maintenance threshold for critical components.
4. Log each flight immediately after the session.
5. Log any maintenance recently performed.
6. Perform periodic backups.
## 3. Where to Find What
- Dashboard: model overview, operational status, alerts.
- Model Details: overview, flights, maintenance, components, notes.
- Flights: global history of all flights.
- Airfields: field records with coordinates and navigation.
- Events: Event log with coordinates and navigation.
- Installed/detached components: Inventory and installation management.
- Other: Backup/import-export, language, ad-free plan.
## 4. Automatic flights and data
When you record a flight, the app automatically saves:
- geographic coordinates
- altitude
- weather conditions
Data that should always be completed:
- date
- duration
- outcome
- operational notes
- photos, if applicable
## 5. Components and periodic maintenance
For each component, you can set a threshold in flight minutes (example: 600 minutes = 10 hours).
How it works:
- With each recorded flight, the mounted components accumulate minutes
- When the threshold is reached, the component appears in the alerts
- After the recorded maintenance, the counter since the last maintenance is reset
- The total lifetime hours are saved and are not reset
Where you see the alerts:
- Dashboard
- Mounted Components section
## 6. Airfields and Events with Navigation
In both Airfields and Events, you can:
- Save geographic coordinates
- Reopen the position in navigation with direct action
## 7. Quick Backup (recommended)
When to backup:
- Before major updates
- Before imports
- After large changes
Path:
- Other -> Backup current app (v. 2)
## 8. Common Problems
