Harbor freight $4.99, $3.99 if you go to the store LOL works fine, Wouldnt wire your house with it or anything (maybe you can, not much of an electrician) but hobbywise it works cool for my (not large) needs

I don't know how much I would trust a $5 voltmeter, but I will keep that in mind......

And yes, I am deeply considering flying to their store so I can save some money on it....

OK - don't laugh - but back in my 20's I couldn't afford a good Fluke so I got an almost top of the line Radio Shack multi-meter. It may not be the best, but it has done a nice job and lasted me for at least 10 years so far.

I guess the closest current model would be:

Another thing to consider is if you purchase a good meter up front you can use it for more than just R/C stuff. Then you will always have a good meter for any project that may come up around the house in the future, as long as you take good care of your tools. So do your research and choose wisely.
