“The least of my worries was I had no money,” he says, spearing another rasher. Inevitable to him, maybe, but the problems that stood between Goodwin and his flying his own aircraft were immense. From that moment, everything that happened afterwards was fairly inevitable.” It’ll do 215mph and if you got in her now, you could fly to Corsica.

Trig products are better by design – the transponder controller even has a built in altitude encoder, saving additional space and weight. Our TT21 and TT22 transponders are the world’s smallest Mode S devices, certified and ADS-B Out capable too. Trig provides the greatest flexibility of installation, saving valuable panel space and weight, in fact Trig might be the only way of accommodating your preferred instrument fit of associated equipment. Across all these aircraft types Trig remains the ideal avionics equipment.

New designs in the light sport or LSA class and microlight class all have a common focus – achieving the most effective use of space and weight. If you’re a light sport pilot then your choice of aircraft, either kit or factory produced is breath taking! The growth in this sector of aviation is significant – bringing with it the advantage of lower cost and lighter regulation. Trig the perfect partner for light aviation
