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 :-)
