- I had the Tower tach for years. My only complaint was that if you
- forgot it on - then you had to spend a few bucks on a strange size
- batteries and take it apart to replace them.
-
- But it always worked when I wanted it to.
-
- But I sold it at auction because I got a fancier one.
- One with NiCads and a neck strap.
-
- I decided the right place for a tach is in your radio so
- the Futaba 9VAP is what I use for power planes.

- At $640 it is an expensive Tach but they give you a 9 channel
- transmitter and a PCM receiver free :-)
