We need some stand alone feed back info to the pilot on the
instrument panel when no net book is present in the cockpit.

I am thinking of using this low cost 3 inch wide by
2.5 inches high 80 character display.

It is 4 lines by 20 characters wide.

That should be plenty of info for the pilot.

The over all size of the box and panel cut out will be about 5 inches
wide and 4 inches high with switches, netbook USB connector
and a leaning knob below the display.

What do you think? What engine info would you
like to see on the display? Is the display large
enough?

RPM
water temp
oil pressure
oil temp
EGT

total fuel burned
