Some preliminary notes on using it:

Everything is organised in terms of batteries, flights and charge cycles. A complete cycle is a combination of a flight and a charge operation.
You add a battery with the plus signs. After it appears on the list, it can (and should) be doubleclicked to enter the details (capacity, name, title, manufacturer, etc.).
It will not be stored without this.
You can then add a new flight on the view with the helicopter button (or whatever you use to discharge the battery). It will ask you for the battery used. Record at least the flight time. This is the most important information as it is used for calculations. Preferably adapt the date.
After charging the battery complete the cycle by adding a charge operation. It will ask you for a corresponding flight. It only lets you select flights for which there is no charge recorded yet. Record at least the capacity charged.
It might be that the charge does not appear in the list above. The list is context sensitive to the currently selected battery so in this case switch to battery view and select the corresponding battery. You might notice that the state icons have changed and it now shows the battery as charged plus some more information.
Switch back to the charge view and your entry should appear. If you have more entries for the same battery small arrows in one of the last cells will indicate if the flight was more efficient than the last one or less. This is calculated from the flight length and charge amount.
Your flight btw will be shown with a cycle icon to indicate that it has a completed charge cycle.
The check list should be self explanatory, take a look at the drop box below the list. Here you will find the categories you can switch. Eg. for preflight, packing, repairing, whatever you want. Just create a new category.

Hope this helps.

I've managed to build QT 4.7.3 using diablo sdk.
Still untested on real device.

Fremantle (n900) extras contains QT 4.7.0 as of August 28th, 2011. The package name is qt-experimental

EDIT: I was notified that there is QT 4.7.0 already in Maemo5 PR 1.3 repositories.

The first release candidate of the RC Flyers Toolkit Box has been uploaded.

Improvements:
- Bug fixes
- Remove check category button added
- Swapped flight and cycle buttons in the toolbar
- Improved flight rating
- fixed calculations
- new current visualisation per flight
- translation updates
- and more

For the upcoming 1.0 Ankh-Morpork release no new functions will be developed, only bug fixes willl go in.
New functionality will be going into Lancre (1.1).

Versions available include Linux 32bit and 64bit, Windows, Meego/Harmattan and Maemo.
Mac OSX is not forgotten and still on the list as well as Android and Symbian.

Feedback is highly appreciated so take the chance to take part in forming the tool the way you want it.

Get it from http://rcflyerstoolkit.sf.net - It is planned to include the tool into Maemo/MeeGo QA in the long run so it will be available via Extras repository some day.

Especially the Harmattan version is untested so feedback is welcome.

I´d hereby like to inform you folks that the project is still alive and approaching the 1.0 release (called Ankh Morpork Release) for Windows, Linux, Maemo, Harmattan and, hopefully, Mac OS X which will be ready in a few days from now. An Android version is also currently under testing.

After the release the Maemo and Harmattan versions will go into Maemo Extras Testing and hopefully Extras. Until then you can get the builds from the sourceforge link in the first post.

I hope you like it so feel free to give feedback.

I am glad to announce the release of version 1.0 (Ankh-Morpork release) for Harmattan and Maemo.

Read the announcement at http://sourceforge.net/p/rcflyerstoolkit/blog/ from where you can also get the packages.
Putting it into the repositories is on the list and will take some time.

I hope you like it.
