This is actually a replacement for one that had a little accident.  The
application is a tachometer to measure prop/rotor RPM on model aircraft.
A friend ordered one last week and used it for the first time this
weekend on his electric heli.  Unfortunately, a slip of the hand whilst
adjusting the TX controls led to a "rotor blade-tachometer interface
situation" and the LCD took the brunt of the force.

Thanks for the link. I have found a UK distributor for the displaytech
products, though it remains to be seen how keen they are to supply one
device.  Some of the other LCD distributors I've found have a MOQ of 500
or so.

I suspect we'll end up having to get a leaded display and kludge it onto
the gold plated PCB pads.  As long as it works he'll be happy(er).

Regards

Mike
