SafeGyro Debuts

Radiant Technology has introduced SafeGyro, a portable solid-state directional instrument for experimental and light aircraft.

SafeGyro combines heading indication, heading bug, turn coordination, slip/skid awareness, and a motion-history display into one unit.

The patent-pending SafeGyro does more than report data, said James Weibe of Radiant Technology. It shows the pilot where the aircraft is pointed, where it is being commanded to go, and how it has been moving — in a way that is fast to read, easy to explain, and difficult to forget, he said.

“This is not another copy of legacy instrumentation,” he added. “We wanted something a pilot could use immediately and something that, at a glance, looks like the future rather than the past.”

At the center of SafeGyro is a directional presentation with heading digits, a compass tape, a heading bug, and a motion-history map, giving the pilot an visual trace of heading behavior over time. The result is a directional instrument intended to improve scan efficiency, reduce interpretation time, and present heading information in a form that feels more natural, immediate, and modern than conventional portable solutions, according to Weibe.

SafeGyro is available in both inertial and magnetometer-augmented configurations. The magnetometer-equipped version is intended for customers seeking enhanced heading performance over longer periods of operation, according to Weibe.

SafeGyro is battery-operated, USB rechargeable, and designed to place directly into any 2-¼-inch instrument panel. It measures approximately 2.55 inches square by 0.65 inches thick, weighs about 3 ounces, and provides approximately four hours of battery operation between charges.

First customer shipments are expected to begin in August 2026. Introductory pricing is available through July 31, 2026, at $494.95 for the base unit and $644.95 for the magnetometer-equipped version.

Beginning Aug. 1, 2026, standard pricing increases to $594.95 for the base unit and $744.95 for the magnetometer-equipped version.
