Features

• Any pilot who has ever wanted to add a turn coordinator to an experimental aircraft panel has been put off by the complexity, weight, reliability, and price of traditional electric or vacuum units. The Radiant Panel Turn Coordinator solves these problems.
• Compared to all other Turn Coordinators, this unit also provides a digital indication of degrees-per-second during the turn. It is also inexpensive.
• It utilizes a solid state gyro and accelerometer, weighs less than 2 ounces, attaches to any aircraft ship power system, and allows for easy in flight calibration at the push of a button.
• The unit graphic design looks exactly like existing turn coordinators, so there is no learning curve for the pilot. Also, unlike some products, the unit’s gyro will stabilize even if brought to power under aircraft upset conditions.
• What's new (and why it matters)
• • Higher frame rate = fluid motion. The airplane symbol and bubble now move with smoother step, so trend and magnitude are obvious at a glance.
  • Smoother graphics and fonts. Refined anti-aliasing and subtle dithering—our neon blue theme—increases perceived resolution and legibility.
  • Intuitive power watchdog. Simple green/yellow/red indicator provides a warning for power droop.
  • Selectable Gyro Filter (0–3). A brand new idea and feature! Tap both buttons to choose response: 0 = snappy/aerobatic, 1=normal, 2= slow, 3 = molasses smooth & slow.
  • Improved temperature compensation. Updated model to keep the digital yaw centered as cockpit temperature changes.
  • Clean two-button interface. Left button = DIM (short press). Right button = CALibrate (long press ≥7 s). Both buttons (short press) = Change Filter, from levels 0–3.

Specifications

• Form factor: 2 1/4" instrument; weighs approx. 1.8 oz.
• Form factor: 3 1/8" instrument
• Display: daylight-readable color LCD; wide viewing angle.
• Indication: aircraft symbol + bubble; digital yaw (deg/sec) reads beyond graphic range.
• Power: 6–15 VDC; typical ≤110 mA at full brightness, ~30 mA dim.
• Buttons: Left DIM (short), Right CAL (long ≥7 s), Both (short) = Rolls the Filter 0–3.
• Gyro rate is adjustable from aerobatic quick to molasses smooth.
• Unit uses any power source from 6 to 16 volts.
• Resets from any aircraft upset position.
• Internal power regulator has been designed to withstand transients to 60 volts.
• Sunlight readable full-color high contrast LCD screens, which are also friendly with sunglasses.
• Dimmable via 8-step user-selectable built-in switch.
• User controls: Left (DIM), Right (CAL), Both (filter mode cycle)
• Indications: turn-rate graphic + slip/skid “ball” + numeric °/s
• Intended use: VFR/backup situational awareness in Experimental/LSA aircraft
