I have one, and use it not only to check battery/motor/prop combos when setting up, but also to test while flying. So far I have not looked at the logged data, only the max watts, max amps, min voltage during a flight, which I have programmed to display on the LCD panel. To me it is more versatile than a Watt Meter.</div><div> </div><div>Bob R.<br><br>--- On<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Mon, 3/1/10, Anthony Romano<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i><<a href="mailto:anthonyr105@hotmail.com">anthonyr105@hotmail.com</a>></i></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>wrote:<br></div><blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(16, 16, 255); border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; "><br><div id="yiv1912118269">Hi Frank,<br>Can't remember which one I have. Very useful tool just make sure it can read in the range you need. A number of them won't read above 70 amps. If you are getting serious about e power look into an Eagle tree data logger with the panel. Then you can do ground checks as well as flight testing.<br> <br>Anthony<br> <br></div></blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table>_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a></div></span></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
