Sick of complex flight instruments when Paramotoring ? Try STUFLY !

After many years of blind alleys, and working with the technology that was available - I created STUFLY in 2016 - it's everything you need for flying paramotors, in an app that runs on your wrist with a Garmin smartwatch. It's free. Why don't you try it today?
Stufly on the garmin app store - check the compatibility list, and choose the version for your watch:
apps.garmin.co...
StuFly - Paramotoring App: D2, Fenix 3 3/HR
Stufly - Paramotoring App: D2 Descent, 935, 5, 5+, 5s+, 5x, 5x+, 6s, 6s pro
If your model isn't supported fear not - I will be trying to add support for more watches through October 2019 - aiming to at least cover the new Fenix 6 and 6x, but also trying to support the 5s, and other watches if at all possible.
So check the garmin store periodically over the next few months and hopefully your watch will soon be covered.
And if you like the app - please leave a review :-) #theflyingscotsmantv

I am one of those people that can get lost in their own backyard... 'Green arrow close to red arrow = heading home" is pure brilliance! Thanks a bunch!

So YOURE stufly , lol , I’m a hang glider pilot and stumbled upon your app , i gave my fenix 3 to my son and bought an Apple Watch , however soon I’ll be buying the fenix 6x , which means ill be flying the sky’s with your app again . All the best and thanks for the app , its great

[@johnchin7530]

I just want to say a huge thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and skills toward developing the Stufly app on the Garmin! Shout out to you here from Borneo, Malaysia and Singapore!!

[@MarkRohlfing]

This is awesome! So glad to find this! Fenix here i come.

[@GoFlyBodi629]

Thanks so much! I picked up a refurbished G3 for my cross country flights. Can't wait to start using it. This will make getting speed data so much easier than juggling a phone while fllying. I've tried ppgps, and while its nice, it constantly lost my data upon landing somehow. I like this idea better for logging my flights on the Tornado 280.

[@Peter_Eriksson]

This is epic! I can finally get rid of my flymaster flight deck setup!

[@ishantewari1131]

Hello sir. At the outset, i am really thankful to you for creating such an innovative application. I have a Garmin 6 pro solar watch and presently i have installed the v11 of the stufly app. Everything is ok, but once i have recorded this as an event, i am unable to access the various graphs (you had to explained on the YT video), like the altitude, maps and other flight related data. It is still showing calories and heart beat, basically run related data. Please help me 🙏

[@kumarlotus]

Thank you so much for the app. Im using this here in Malaysia for paramotor flying . We are used to speed units as KMPH and feet for altitude. if i can switch them this way, it will be very great full.

[@zamfly99]

thank you for your apps & useful tips. These are what I've been searching for quite sometimes. Great apps for paramotoring. Is it possible to do some video editing where we can display the recorded flight data (such as speed & altitude) on the video & sync with it ?

Hi, I am a hot air balloon pilot, I would like to know which model of garmin watch I can choose that are compatible with your interesting app. Super thanks for your kind reply Let's keep our hearts always high Andy

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

Hi Andy, as I say any of the ones in list should be fine. I fly with a fenix 3 and 5. Circular is best.

[@majedalsaeed4388]

Wonderful! Thank you

[@johncpescod]

I am justing getting in to paramotors and after looking at all the options, this does seem a great option! I was certainly looking for flight tracking and this has it too. Perhaps it would not be too much work to have a fuel quantity input before leaving. Presuming you can also put in the average fuel burn, it should be relatively easy to show the flight time in orange and then red figures for example when fuel is running out.

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

Hi John, understand your new. I used to worry about fuel consumption as well. I actually build an accurate fuel gauge for my 2nd paramotor.. then never used it. bottom line is : keep it simple. once you have some flights under your belt, you'll know how many liters per hour your machine uses. So my advice is what I do - just always take off with more than you could ever need. I usually fly with 8 liters. My motor uses about 3 liters an hour. So I know that even if I decide to have a really long flight for me of 2 hours, I still have 2 liters spare if wind picks up or something. There's enough to worry about while flying- so eliminate the ones you can.

[@johncpescod]

Ok I understand that. Thx for the advice.

[@richardellis5826]

Morning , May i ask if the app compatible with the Tactix 7 Garmin , your kind response will be appreciated .

[@MKHNitro]

Stu love the Stufly app Could you do a video of how to view/downlosd/ extract the tracklog from the app post flight ?

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

Oo OK might do. Easy though, just log on to garmin connect in a browser, fing your activity and top right there's a download as gpx

[@pepperjackshack2439]

Not sure if you have done it but sun set time and current time are nice to know

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

Current time is there. Kinda ran out of space for anything else. I use a watch face that has sunset time. Maybe that will do?

[@flajflaj]

The main question is: Does it have igc record with valid g-record?

[@Balta.torcasso]

you are a good man! thanks!

[@johncpescod]

Found a second hand Fenix 3 for 110 eruo and installed the app. However I would really like if Stu would add a functionality to be able to put in some (+/-5) waypoints since I plan to make 2-3 day adventure flights and not always return to the take-off field. The Garmin website already allows you to make your own tracks for running and cycling so perhaps their system could be used for flight waypoints and other landing places? I'd certainly be willing to pitch in financially to make this happen and I'm sure other users would also!

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

Hi John, thanks for the feedback. I'll stick it on the feature backlog. However tbh if you require more complex features like waypoint navigation you may be better looking at a phone app like PPGps. I'm loath to add feature bloat, as the core of stufly is simplicity. waypoint navigation adds a ton of complexity. e.g. how do you know a waypoint has been selected ? how to show it's the right waypoint (maps?), etc. The way the feature backlog works is the more folk that ask for something the better chance of me adding it. At present you're the only one who has requested this one, but that could change I suppose.

[@johncpescod]

Thank you for your answer Stu. I'm already happy that you have given us a great app that does the job well for most pilots and their local flying.

[@wassimnehme3178]

Hey thanks for the app, i really like all your instruments, i was trying to make my recon hud work as a flight instrument for sometime but no success and i moved to Garmin this is how i discovered your video, but still i would like to know more about your recon hud if you have any link, thanks

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

I don't think I can post a link here, but I think I'm did a video. Search for powerlord69 hud. It had most of the features of stufly.

[@David65702]

Great looking app as much as I would love to I will never spend that much on a smartwatch or garmin. If you could add wind speed and direction that would be better. I use PPGps its great to map yourself and find your way home but the altitude and speed is completely off 90% of the time not sure how accurate the wind speed and direction is ether they have no CS as far as I can tell. I did get the paid version and the smart watch app but the cheap smart watch I got was a pile of shit...my fault. Thanks for the info.

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

Wind speed is highly inaccurate because of the way it has to be calculated so not supported. Altitude and speed is pretty accurate imho. And a secondhand fenix 3 is only around 100 pounds.

Also I figured the flight timer would stop automatically when I landed but it keeps going. Anybody have similar experiences...thank you...

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

Hmm never heard of that before. Did you Stert app on the ground? Because it only know to start measuring when it detects you take off. For similar reason there's no real way to detect you've landed hence best start on ground, stop when you've landed.

Sorry for asking twice. I didn't see you had already responded to my first. Looking at the VivoActive 3 specs I see it also has the barometric altitude sensor so it's a thumbs up for this one.
