When I go to Tower, Horizon, Graves, and Radical RC, I see nothing that looks like what I need. When electric flight was in its infancy, I had a Hobbico wattmeter that did the job I needed. Now I am unable to find one of those.

Can someone recommend a decent wattmeter?

• To trust is good
  
• To calculate is better
  Will get you to say within 10%, if input ok.
  e-flight calculators & propdata (compilation)
  
• To measure is a must
  A watt-meter will more than pay for itself, several times over, your battery, ESC and motor will love you for it.
  After calculating, always check/measure current when you have a new/changed setup.
  Will also help you find optimal setup.
  And it's a great tool for debugging your power train.
