Yep, you're right I had it backwards, thanks for the catch. But I
wanted to make the point that we can swap them with the rocket
builders.....

Just a note to clarify this issue for anyone using the Vertical Power system.
You do not need relays or other boards for the trim. It is all built-in and all
solid-state. Also, the pilot and co-pilot inputs are handled appropriately
when there is conflicting control inputs between the two.
On a separate but related note, you also do NOT need to install relays for the
door latch annunciator switches. You just run the two switches in series from
each door into a switched input pin, and you can change the logic (on when grounded
or on when un-grounded) in the setup menus.

Note, though, that the VP only handles 2 trim servos, so if you have
3, then you will need a relay for the 3rd.

FWIW, I believe Lycoming stopped making the narrow-deck simply because they wanted
a single production line, and the wide-deck had some other advantage relative
to the product line they offer, I forget what. I've got a C4B5 too, although
not flying yet.
Thanks for the lead on swapping ears with the Rocket guys, would never have known
that and was going to order new parts soon.
