I actually use a telephone address book for my record keeping, putting the names of the planes under the relevant letter. i record rubber size and length. Nothing more than that. But i am not that fancy... YET.

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Record Keeping
I have 'played' with indoor on and off over the years, mainly in the 80s and
90s, but it was always second to outdoor. Increasing age makes outdoor more
difficult which gives me an urge to do indoor 'properly'. For that reason I
would welcome your secrets on what, in my opinion, is the most difficult and
important part of indoor - no, not making a VP prop or the camber of your
tailplane section but the keeping of records.
What do you record: turns, back off, turns left, torque, time,
ceiling,...??? When, immediately? Where, loose leaves, notebook, tape
recorder? How, tabular, odd scribbled notes? I have a feeling I saw a
sample page of Jim Richmond's notes somewhere, perhaps in a Sympo, but I
can't find it now.
I do think that this aspect of model flying is important but I do find it a
chore so any suggestions for doing it right would be appreciated.
