ElectriFly PowerMatch™ Power Meter with Balancing The ElectriFly PowerMatch helps hobbyists bring out the very best performance in
their electric models. Compatible with all battery types—Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-Po, Li-Fe and Li-Ion—this versatile unit provides its most valuable function in Power Checking mode. Connected between a battery and components of a model’s electric power system, PowerMatch displays the load current, power, battery voltage and used capacity. The data can be stored and provides the information needed to select the most efficient and powerful combination of motor, ESC, battery pack and prop. PowerMatch also features Battery Checking
and Balancing modes. Applications include: measuring lithium cell and pack voltages, lowest and highest cell voltages, gap voltages, remaining battery capacity and more; checking radio battery condition; and, determining whether all cells in a lithium pack are balanced (unbalanced packs can be discharge-balanced for use). All data is displayed on an easy-to-read, 2 ×16 LCD screen. Sound cues and pushbutton controls simplify operation. ElectriFly includes genuine Deans® Ultra Plug® connectors on input and output. On the workbench or at the flight line, the ElectriFly PowerMatch is ideal for getting the most out of electric models. PowerMatch Power Meter with Balancing (GPMM3220) has a street price of $44.99.

New Book from Osprey Publishing No 60 Sqn RFC/RAF is book number 41 in Osprey’s “Aviation Elite Unit” series,
which provides combat histories of the world’s most renowned fighter and bomber units. No 60 Sqn of the Royal Flying Corps went to France in May
1916. Equipped with obsolescent aeroplanes, it suffered such heavy casualties during the battles of the Somme in July 1916 that it was withdrawn from line duties. During this enforced rest it was re-established as a dedicated fighter squadron and was re- equipped with the agile Nieuport Scout, later replaced by the SE 5 and SE 5a, and later became one of the finest fighter units of the war, ending the conflict with more than 320 victories. Written by Alex Revell, this 7¹⁄₄ ×9¹⁄₄ softcover book contains
128 pages, including nine color plates. The price is $25.95 US, $30.00 Canada. OSPREY PUBLISHING, 44-02 23rd Street, Suite 219,
