In 2009, entrepreneur James Wiebe had an idea. The Belite incorporates aluminum and lighter carbon fiber technologies to reduce the weight.
Radiant Instruments markets products which "Enable Adventure" WEB: www.radiantinstruments.com EMAIL: [email protected] Our product line includes Carbon Monoxide detectors, aircraft instruments, radios, and much more! As an avid pilot and aviation enthusiast, Wiebe wanted to create an aviation experience that would take recreational flight to a whole new realm. Wiebe acquired the tooling, existing parts and manufacturing rights of an older aircraft, then combined his creativity and experience from his previous business ventures to reinvent the design. The result is a (FAR) Part 103 ultralight that looks and flies like a real airplane and a new aircraft company, Belite Aircraft. To complement Part 103 flying, Wiebe has also introduced a line of instruments that are extremely lightweight, easy to use and affordable. FAR Part 103 airplanes have traditionally had great difficulty meeting legal weight requirements while providing airplane functionality. Wiebe developed a production processes which solved this problem and offers an ultralight with the feel of a real airplane. The result is a full-featured airplane that meets the 254 pound limit specified in FAR Part 103. The standard Belite 254 is a full-featured, true single-seat airplane with a real instrument panel that is well within the Part 103 weight limits. A modern smooth and reliable 2-stroke engine allows a rate climb of 400 fpm and a cruise speed of 62 mph. As a tailwheel airplane, it is remarkably easy to fly, but tailwheel operating knowledge is required. The standard Belite 254 has a control stick and rudder pedals for standard 3-axis aircraft controls, highly effective flaperons and classic taildragger styling. It also features a tough welded 4130 steel frame and folding wings for easy transport and storage. A tricycle version is also available.

Fun to see these Co detectors do their self check.

Another batch of Safealt altimeter/ VSI products headed out the door. With no calibration, the unit to unit altitude variance is ridiculously small.
