Bill,

This sounds very interesting how do you install it and how do you get the data out?

Best,       Dennis

I should mention that the EagleTree Data logger is "only" $70. It handles the same functions as the Inspector Wattmeter, but of course can be expanded (for extra $$ of course) to measure rpm, airspeed, etc in flight.

It does lack a realtime display for that price, and to add one is another $40. I have the display too, but now I only use it for measurements in the basement when I want rpm but don't want to run a prop and use the tach. I use to have it mounted on the ENobler, but after you fly a couple of times, you get a feeling for the gross limits, and for the detailed stuff (like how many amps you pull in the overheads)---well you don't need that at the field anyway and I usually look at that on the PC.

So the Inspector Wattmeter basically fills a need somewhat between the bench device (like my AstroWhattmeter), and my flying device--the Eagletree. I can see that it does fill the niche between the two.

I will say though, that when I am making bench tests, I really don't like the scrolling between the different window. The Eagletree does that with its display, and I prefer the Astro Whattmeter since it has everything instantly available on a single window---but it doesn't give peak values. However this is a detail.
