Meet the new Turn Coordinator: Smoother, Sharper, Smarter
Available in four versions
- 2 1/4" bezel with Altimeter ($299.95)
- 3 1/8" bezel with Altimeter ($299.95)
- 2 1/4" bezel without Altimeter ($199.95)
- Portable SafeTurn ($199.95)
We've reworked our original Turn Coordinator to deliver fluid motion, crisp readability, and solid stability across temperature changes.
You'll see a daylight-readable color LCD that shows digital yaw rate (deg/sec), a central aircraft symbol for turn direction, and a bubble-style roll inclinometer for coordination.
How it compares (past generation to now)
- Motion: it was stepwise; now it's silky.
- Legibility: from good LCD to higher-perceived resolution.
- Power awareness: added watchdog to the internal power supply.
- Stability: tighter temp comp.
- UX: simple with two buttons, & three actions.
Altimeter is available on 2 1/4" and 3 1/8" versions. Also includes backup battery.
This is a great value for home builders and an excellent choice to install beside far more expensive, high-dollar glass instruments as a backup. This product is designed for use in experimental, ultralight, and Light Sport aircraft (with manufacturer approval).
See Sport Aviation (October 2025) highlight of the new version instrument.
Turn Coordinator Family
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.
In comparison to all other Turn Coordinators, this unit also provides a digital indication of degrees per second in 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.
