[NSRCA-discussion] FW: ESVs for flight pack lipos?

[glmiller3 at suddenlink.net]

I like the "8 Ball" made by Fromeco.  It has a nice led readout unloaded and then with a 1 amp load.  Gives a no fly warning at 6.9 volts but continues to show the voltage so you can use it for non-lipo packs too.

That's good (obvious in hindsight) info that lots of folks might not
think of, thanks for sharing!

I've had a Radio South digital ESV for years and I really like it.  It's
small, zero maintenance (no batteries) and dead simple to operate.
