Data Sources and Tools
Various data sources have gone into building this web site. It's safe to say that
countless hours of measurement, checking and aggregating are behind these data sources
and without all those folks contributing their time and knowledge, I certainly wouldn't
have been able to build this site.
My original source of motor data was the motor database that MotoCalc publishes
on their website. I opted not to use their user contributed data.
For the prop data, I relied on the XLS version of Drive Calc. It was in a format
that was easily inhaled, and I've trusted that data for some time now. Mssrs Kiwi
and Persson's contribution to the hobby has been enormous.
The graphs are created by a tool called ZedGraph. It just works. Period. Very, very
nice.
The database is Microsoft's SQL 2005, with ASP pages written in C#. The website
is hosted by DiscountASP.NET.
