Default watt meter

Hi,

I am getting into elect. planes and want to check the amps and watts the system is using. I have the Watt's Up unit and it says "LOAD" and "SOURCE".

One guy said the LOAD goes to the ESC and the source is the battery, is that right??

thanks, I am getting used to the elect stuff but its coming slow.

yup it worked, I was running 7 amps with the two cell. I pluged in a large 3 cell and got 11 amps. The plane has a 18 amp esc. so I am safe.

thanks
