You said you were aiming to build something for an R/C plane?the segments on the lcd that im having problems with, will work sometimes but not others, so i am going to stick the meter on and see what it says.
I'm wondering how good (bad?) those LCD segments will look at certain angles with direct sunlight behind/beside/in-front-of them...

it seems to appear like a digital watch when "lit" up.. im assuming it should look about the same in light... i don't really know though... if it doesn't work, i will try something else... thats whats good about doing it as a hobby!!! no deadlines and as long as its cheap, i can try different things until i find something i like.. i cant remember now, but i think i got these displays for around $1 each, and then i got a couple that are 2.5 digits ( 1.8.8) and some LED backlights for them for a couple bucks a set too.
i will try to post a video of what the display is doing.. then maybe someone will have an idea of what is actually happening....

forget the video, i got it working... i had a couple of the ports backwards.. it works good and heres a pic of the lcd with direct camera flash.. it should show up ok in hte sun
