Oh, no, I didn't mean to imply that. I just wanted to let you know that there are easier methods, and it simply helps people do something that should be done on every flight. I have both an ESV and use voltwatch.. as Justin Wilson (the cajun cook) says, "Always wear a belt AND suspenders!!".

Many of the posters, well, perhaps quite a few, are self taught. They have probably experienced more crashes than most of us 'formal' trained RC'ers have. Those of us that HAVE had 'formal' training, were, hopefully, introduced to the "Pre-Flight Inspection". Part of that is to check the battery (plural if more than one on the plane) before flying for the first time, then, hopefully, at least before each and every flight (I do it before AND AFTER each flight.. again, belt AND suspenders). The self taught never had that bit of information passed on to them by their instructors and are pretty much stuck with blaming inexperience on their crashes. Although not checking batteries may be included in the 'inexperience' factor, they do not understand that and attribute crashes to their lack of hand-eye coordination and the basics of flight, let alone what can happen if that battery is borderline.

And my comments were in no way intended to be disruptive. I admire someone that has the discipline to do what you do. That implies someone that is probably more organized than I am..
