I have that caliper, it works great!

What radio do you have? Most of them have timers built in.

You mean I can measure the inner width of a Fuse with that ? ( Ive never used a caliper), is 6 " enough?


Ihave a futaba 6exa ...does it have a timer ? dont think so ?!

RE: Need asap - Digital caliper and talking timer
 

Ya, 6EXA does not. Can't comment on those timers, sorry.

A cheap egg timer would work.

My Futaba 9cap Supper has a great set of timers. I can set them up so the timer starts when I push the throttle of idle. Keeps track of the time in the air, and time on the model. The only thing more I could ask was to be able to hear it. When I was trainging, after a couple close calls wtth fuel, I picked up one to the old clock work timers with a bell at the local thrift shop. No funky sounds, no ring until you shut it off, just one really loud DING when the time was reached. Cant beat them

I know this is not what you are talking about but look at the timer features and other features on this one http://2.4gigahertz.com/systems/futk9250.html

A few years ago several club members bought these:

They're identical to some of the ones on ebay & amazon. They work fine. A $10 timer is a lot cheaper than a 9C or 10C.

For a cheap digital caliper, try Harbor Freight. I've got a couple of them and the are dead on accurate. I've checked them against my calibrated (ISO9000/9001) caliper and they read the same all the time.
