Industry: Retail

Press Release Summary: RCadvisor.com launched on January 1, 2008 with Calculator SE,
an advanced free online calculator for model airplane building and design.
Calculator SE features an electric power system optimizer, a virtual wind tunnel, a
scale model sizing tool, and a real-time airfoil analyzer. Running on multiple
platforms, it incorporates features distilled from the latest usability research.
According to founder and lead developer Carlos Reyes, "Ease of use is the primary
design goal, but accuracy has not been compromised."

Press Release Body: Ease of Use is the Primary Design Goal

Calculator SE uses ToolTips to provide help on highlighted entry fields, when it has
advice to give, or to indicate an invalid entry. An online tutorial guides the user
through common tasks. Twenty-five interactive graphs highlight trends at a glance.
Graphs and results are recalculated automatically with every data edit, encouraging
experimentation and speeding up the learning process.

Designed as a set of workbenches, each component (motors, airfoils, etc.) can be
analyzed independently. A consistent layout for each workbench makes knowledge
transfer easy. More advanced workbenches for airplanes and power systems combine
multiple components together.

Accuracy has not been Compromised

Dennis from Tracy, California says "Wow, that's a pretty nice calculator. I input my
TwinJet at my altitude and average temperature, and the max speed (level flight) is
almost exactly what I measured! Very nice, and Great Job!"

Advanced Design and Features

The calculator and extensive component database reside on fast server networks in
the United States and Europe. The calculator is no larger than popular homepages and
loads very quickly. The user\'s data is saved every three minutes to the same server
networks to prevent data loss.

The calculator requires no installation and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. It
is very fast - the power system optimizer can analyze 40,000 configurations every
second.

airplanes and computers. He holds a Private Pilot-Glider Certificate from the FAA
and has enjoyed flying model airplanes for many years. A Computer Science degree
from Columbia University and 25 years of experience prepared him well to tackle
programming the calculator.
