If you're OCD about this kind of stuff, there's an app for that. Flightloggr lets you print a tiny QR code that you can stick on each battery and scan before you fly. That way you exactly how many hours you have on every battery.
Hi! My name is Paul. I’ve been slowly getting involved in RC sports for the last year and a half when I bought my first Hubsan X4 (it’s obviously been through some revisions over the years). I’ve been hooked since, and I have been excitedly watching the hobby come into popularity in the last few years.
Here’s me and my current build, my ZMR 250, codename, The Green Machine: http://i.imgur.com/213O2P3.jpg

I searched around for something out there that already exists that would do RC flight logging, and I found a few apps that would perform these functions. However, many of these apps were outdated, hard to use, and just as time-consuming (if not more) than just using a pen and paper -- not meeting my original requirement: save time to fly while still grabbing the data.
So, like any good developer, I went out and made one.
And, as you can expect, the principles behind the application are:
Cool! But.. It’s still a work in progress. I tend to get very buried in not releasing projects and getting users into the app to play around, and as a result, I made myself stick to an MVP for the application, and promised myself that I would release when that MVP was completed. I in no way intend to stop working on the application as it stands, and I hope that you will engage with me in the process of making this a community-driven application, built by the users for the users.
To encourage further feedback, I’ve created a subreddit as my primary platform for sharing updates, receiving feedback, and taking polls on what you think should be the new features. Please go there and subscribe if you’re the least bit interested in where this goes next.

Thanks again guys for all of your support! I can’t wait to hear from you and what you think about the app!
