A New Airplane From Dynon Avionics?

Not exactly, but close. The airplane pictured below is the Vashon R7 Ranger S-LSA and it has an intriguing story, an inviting price and the latest Dynon avionics. First, the story. Several years ago Dynons founder and CEO John Torode had an idea to build and sell a new airplane model and although it wasnt necessarily supposed to be an LSA, it fell within the price point he was after. After years of listening to pilots describe what they might want in a modern LSA, Torode figured out that the obvious stuff potential buyers wanted was something he could offer. It had to have plenty of cool factor, an affordable price and capable avionics.

Dynon enjoys much success in the experimental avionics market with a proven product line that remains on the cutting edge.
