Although all eyes have been focused on avionics giants such as Garmin and UPSAT, some of the most interesting developments -- especially for the experimental field -- come from smaller companies. One we've been watching is Dynon Avionics of Woodinville, Wash. Dynon has been showing nifty little self-contained electronic gyros for a couple of years but now theyve developed a miniature EFIS that contains 10 instruments, including a solid-state attitude indicator. For $2000 or so, you get an attitude indicator, altimeter, rate of climb, airspeed and angle of attack, compass heading, turn coordinator and lateral acceleration ball, voltmeter, G-meter and timer, all in a package about the size of a conventional steam gauge. And did we mention the thing will run for a couple of hours on battery power alone? Oh, how we pine for a way to put this in a certified airplane. (Experimentals only for now.) See Dynon in booth C-23, or visit them online.
