Over the years I've notice that my transmitter screens have a tendency to get oil and dirt on them from use at the field. No matter how hard I try, every transmitter I've owned has ended up with scratches.

With the 14MZ, the problem seems to be worse since it's a touch screen. Every time I touch the screen I have a need to wipe it off and that leads to scratches.

Since I've got a buddy that's in the business of die cutting labels I asked him if we could make some screen protectors for the R/C transmitters. After considerable effort we are able to offer what we think is a must have item for this transmitter. We only made a small run to see if there is much interest.

Here is some information that may answer any questions.

We are devout modelers ourselves and have made every effort to provide you with the very best screen protector possible. With the advent of today’s new, larger LCD transmitter screens and with the harsh environment of the flying field, we believe that a screen protector is critical to the long life and resale value of your investment. With many transmitters now being equipped with touch screens, the need for screen protection is more important than ever.
 Cleanly removable, even after extended periods of time.
 Able to be repositioned, repeatedly.
 Each screen protector precision engineered for your specific transmitter.
 While specifically designed for application on touch screens, it is ideal for all R/C LCD screens.
 Excellent optical properties. 99% optical clarity. 3H Pencil hardness for superior scratch resistance.
 Adhesive virtually self-applies by spontaneously “wetting out” onto smooth surfaces.

Selling for $13.95 post paid to the US. Two screen protectors are included.
PayPal preferred.

One note... I work 3 and 4 day trips for an airline. When I'm gone it's very difficult for me to check e-mails and put things in the mail. I will get caught up when I return.

Thanks,

Great idea! What material did you guys use for this? How thick is it? Any degradation on the touch screen performance with it on, i.e. less responsive or more surface area affected (e.g. false touches)?

About the material.... For obvious reasons I'm not anxious to post the source of the material.

The total thickness of the film is .0045" (.003 clear hardcoated polyester + .0015 self wetting adhesive) not including polyester liner (backing). Because it was designed for touch screen use it is somewhat thinner than what you might have seen for cell phones and iPods. Unlike films used for the screens on PDAs, which are designed for the feel of a pencil, a touch screen film is "harder" and more scratch resistant.

As for the film touch screen performance, since the film was developed for commercial use on touch screens and flat panel displays from the very beginning, it seems to have no effect on the "touch" of the screen. I would like to say that it actually improves the "feel" of the screen touch but since I'm biased, I'll leave it to other for comment.

Bill,
The 12Z does not have a touch screen. But if some were made for the 12Z I would take a set also. I like the idea of keeping the screen protected no matter which radio it is.

David... We have every intention of making a protector for the 12MZ. In fact the only reason we don't have one right now is that there isn't one locally we can measure to make dies!

There is a 9Z and 9C in the works. At some point we hope to make screen protectors for any transmitter folks want.

I should add that there is some expense and time involved in CADing the drawings and then having dies made. I wish I could say we can measure a screen and produce protectors overnight but it's looking like it will take a week to 10 days.

Bill,
Just let me know when you have them made for the 12Z. Send me a pack and I will send you a check. I don't do Paypal. When you get them ready email me and I will send you my information.

Let it know here when they are available.

Howdy folks.... Right now I'm away on one of the airline provided "vacations" I mentioned in my first post.

William and Ron, funds received and I'll put them in the mail ASAP. That will probably be Monday (Dec 4).

Some have asked about shipping overseas. I don't see any problem but I'll have to get smarter on that. I'll be in the post office Monday anyway and inquire. Again I don't think it will be a problem.

12MZ screen protectors.... I really need to get busy on this. Several folks have written asking for these. I wonder if I bought a 12MZ so I can measure the screen, if that it's a tax write off? :D

Cheers

Bill,

The visible portion of 12Z screen is 104x45 mm. Including the black border around it, it's 115x50mm. However, there's enough room for a protector that's 117x53mm in size.
