Radiant Technology introduces another instrument that adds safety, value, and affordability for aviation. The new 3 1/8” Panel Mount Turn Coordinator features an extraordinarily accurate altimeter and an internal battery backup, all for a very low introductory price. It runs even when ship power is down, providing excellent turn and altitude indications.
James Wiebe, CEO of Radiant, commented on this new instrument: “This Turn Coordinator helps pilots maintain a level plane via turn coordination and provides feedback on altitude via a digital altimeter, offering impressive backup instrumentation for an introductory price of $199.95 through August 2025. It is a great value for home-builders, and an excellent choice to be installed beside far more expensive high-dollar glass instruments.”
It has excellent features and specs:
- Turn Coordinator provides the same information that a vacuum or high end electric gyro would provide, while utilizing a solid-state sensor.
- Solid state design of the Turn Coordinator allows for near immediate recovery from events that would tumble older vacuum or electric gyros.
- Inclinometer provides the same information that a classic bubble level would provide.
- Altimeter provides settable altitude information via a standard Kollsman window. If calibrated, we have demonstrated that our technology can meet the applicable portion of the TSO for altitude accuracy.
- Altimeter works from 0 to 20,000 feet.
- Automatically charges its internal battery from ship power (+12v).
- Provides continuous feedback as to the state of charge of the internal battery runs for over 3 hours in the loss of ship power.
- Displays external power, with color coding for power dropping below +12V.
- Designed for a standard 3 1/8” panel cutout.
- Also provides digital yaw.
- Substantially improved boot and warmup time.
- Improved aesthetics and font representation.
- Ultra brilliant, high contrast display (dimmable for dark cabin use).
- Independent power switch.
This product is not tested to TSO standards, nor do we produce in a PMA facility. Therefore, it is useful only in experimental airplanes.
The part # of this new product is RI-2025-7. First shipments are slated for late October.
