Yeah.. I need the temp gun!

Caliper is a must for a lot of things. Temp gun... if you're into nitro or gas engines for your models yes, otherwise, not critical. Just my opinion.

I do have a Savage 4.6 nitro 4x4 truck. Temp gun will work on it plus it was on sale.

Well done, DOG! Yes, the calipers are probably going to be your best friend when setting up a helicopter. I'm happy to see that you have them now. The IR Thermometer, as Paul stated are a must have for nitros, but I like to use my IR Thermometer to check, and then document, the temps of my motors and esc's after each flight....especially on hotter days. Doing this routine isn't a "mandatory" task but it's just something that I do to monitor the conditions of my electronics.

Here is the IR Thermometer that I use:

It's quite small. Fits in my pocket or I can connect it to my landyard.

Happy flying, DOG!!!
