Here we go again! The prize for our next raffle will be an Xtrema Li Po Charger. It is a $180USD value! I bought it for myself and did not get to use it. I is brand new and it has not been used once. So let start the game so everybody can be part of it.

Eligibility Criteria:
1. Everybody who is registered, CONSISTENTLY active AND have posted at least 25 GOOD postings by 4:00 pm on September 28, 2008 before the raffle is drawn at 5:00 pm will be included for the drawing including all moderators and Tech Support team.
2. One person can have only one User name. Admin, HeliTown, Eddiemoth and CMAXIM are NOT eligible to play.
3. After drawing, the winner’s User name will be announced here on this thread. The person must claim the gift within 3 days (by 5:00 pm on TBD GMT-7) or the gift will be available for the next raffle drawing.
4. The winner will buy his/her own postage.
5. A good posting means any meaningful and honest posting related to RC helicopter hobby or any other topics discussed at HeliTown forum.
6. To be considered "CONSISTENTLY active", an SQL query will be run each month to find out if the person has visited the forum and paticipated in forum discussions.
So folks, let the race begin and have fun again! 25 postings are not hard to do for a period of a few months. There are no other forums or websites where you can find RC heli info fast, ask, talk, share, learn and enjoy the hobby and win a RC helicopter at the same time.
Thanks

Wattmeter
Our wattmeter has features not found anywhere else! Like simultaneous display of the standard current, volts and watts along with temperature and horsepower displays!. The large LCD allows us to do this and the temperature probe functions to monitor motor or battery temp while you are testing. Peaks are also being recorded and are displayed in a separate window.

Why do you need a wattmeter? On a new installation it is critical! It helps you determine if you are stressing or damaging your electric motor or battery with the prop / load you have placed on it. Can your battery actually hold up to the demands you place? Are you on the verge of burning out your motor? Do you have a short in your motor? Out of balance battery? Is your cutoff on your speed controller working properly? To summarize you need it to verify and optimize motor performance while measuring, testing, and matching your components. Solve your problems before it's too late!
DISPLAY: Large 4 x 20 LCD simultaneously displays:
VOLTS: - up to 60 Volts resolution .01V
AMPS: – up to 100 amps peak (50 amps continuous) resolution 0.01A
