Overview
|
Introducing the RADIANT Altimeter + VSI Combo, a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or professional pilot. With a bright and clear display, the instrument is available as either 2 1/4" or 3 1/8 panel cutouts.
This new Digital Altimeter has improvements in both value and price. It clearly displays altitude and vertical speed in both digital and replica analog format. We have also improved the internal numerical font representation, resulting in clear and visible digital numbers. Also improved is the size of the units, with availability for the larger 3 1/8 inch panel cutout. The overall thickness of the unit is also reduced to less than ½” (not including electrical connectors or bezel). In a nutshell, this new product is similar to, yet distinct from, our older GEN-2 Digital Altimeter.It has an improved screen representation but does not include a barb adapter or an external temperature probe. In addition, RADIANT is increasing its warranty period to three years for this new instrument, allowing more time for experimental builders to design their instrument panels with factory warranty support. With clear and easy-to-read displays, this Altimeter + VSI Combo is designed to enhance cockpit visibility and improve situational awareness. Whether you're soaring through the skies for pleasure or conducting professional flights, this device is an essential tool for safer and more efficient aviation. |
