Dynon Avionics is excited to announce a strategic investment in Trig Avionics, a UK-based manufacturer of transponders and communication radios. This investment brings Trig into The Dynon Group of companies and strengthens a long-standing partnership between the two innovators in general aviation. 

Trig Avionics is a European manufacturer of avionics, with a focus on transponders and other radio-based products. Trig has earned a reputation for designing and manufacturing high-quality, compact, and energy-efficient avionics. Since its founding in 2004, Trig products have been trusted by pilots across a broad spectrum of general aviation aircraft, from light aircraft to helicopter
s and gliders.

For many years, Trig has supplied Dynon with private-labelled radio transceivers and transponders that integrate seamlessly into Dynon’s SkyView and Advanced product lines. This strategic move deepens that collaboration, allowing the two companies to align more closely and deliver an even broader range of avionics solutions to customers around the world.

The Dynon Group, now including Trig Avionics, will continue its mission to bring cutting-edge, reliable, and affordable avionics to general aviation. The combined entity will be led by Brad Thurow, who has been appointed Dynon’s President. Formerly the Vice President of Engineering, Mr. Thurow joined Dynon four years ago as part of a planned succession strategy. Robert Hamilton, Dynon’s long-time President, will take on the role of Chief Operating Officer.

Dynon Introduces Corgi Trim Servos

Dynon, announces its new line of Corgi Aviation trim servos for experimental and light sport aircraft.

Corgi servos are designed to electrically move trim control surfaces and other systems in homebuilt and other light aircraft applications. In modern homebuilt and light sport aircraft, they are commonly installed alongside complete avionics + autopilot systems such as those available from Dynon and Advanced Flight Systems. When integrated, they enable autopilot auto-trim capability, which automatically trims the aircraft when under autopilot control. Corgi servos can be installed in any aircraft where electric trim control of a trim tab is desired regardless of avionics selection.

Originally developed in collaboration with an aircraft manufacturer, Corgi servos are flight-proven. They are installed and flying in over 100 S-LSA aircraft, and have proven to offer exceptional performance and reliability.

Corgi servos are available in six models, ranging from 0.7” to 1.2” of travel, in both clevis and threaded end varieties. They include both sides of the electrical connector and the pins needed to finish the aircraft side harness for easy connectivity. Internally, Corgi servos feature limiting switches to electrically inhibit motion at the ends of their range of travel. The output shaft is brass for enhanced strength and durability.

Corgi Aviation servos are available from Aircraft Spruce, directly from Dynon, and from other Dynon resellers. Models range in price from $199 to $269.
