What are people using for Builders Log these days?  I searched this site for it; there was mention of KitLog Pro about a year ago. Is that still relevant? What about making your own blog or website? ( thru Google for example ) How about good old fashioned paper note book and pictures?

Do the inspectors electronic records or do they want paper?

Hi Chris

I suppose it is up to you with which ever way you would like to do it and or whether or not you have the skills to build a web site, which I do not. I use kitlog because it is so simple and quick to use. All you do is fill out the pre determined fields, add up to 3 photos per log and ad your text and click save. If you then wish to add it to the web for all to see as most people do, it is just one click of a button and it is all done for you in a matter of seconds. You can also create reports and print them off. The best thing of all is that you keep the original set of data on your computer and plug in a USB stick and click the backup data button and all is safe, I do. The program only costs $50 but is free to try for I think 30 days from memory. So you can download it and use it as a full version, without the upload to web function, to see if you like it or not. If so, pay the $50 for the unlock code. Remember, the more work you create yourself with building web sites and the like, the less time you are actually building your plane, food for thought.

 

Regards

Phill

I'm a web developer so it is natural for me to make my own build blog: www.stol750project.info but I see a lot of people use kit log so it must be simple.

As for the dar only tale I have heard is that the guy didn't look at logs or pictures at all but I have no idea if that is typical.
