Another area that I am starting work to work on is the electrical system. The Vert ical Power VP-X systems seems to greatly simply the wiring process. I woul d appreciate any feedback on using the VP-X=2C I admit I am electrically c hallenged and anything to simplify putting together the electrical system w ould be helpful. Does is save time and simplify the wiring process? Thanks in advance.

I want to use the VP-X but the G3X is not an approved EFIS for VP at this time. I wish it were because I would definitely be using one. If you were going to add WigWag, trim Safety etc=85to your build the VP almost pays for itself.

I love this system. I guess the VP-X is even better. The other day I added wig-wag capability to the plane. I didn't need to do any more wiring, or buy any wig-waggy equipment. I just needed to do a software upgrade ( a free upgrade). I've added a section to my blog about VP http://rvnewsletter.blogspot.com/search/label/Vertical%20Power I've included a video in there about how easy it is to hook up a component, and get it running. The biggest thing I like about VP-50 is I have a TON of panel space available because I don't have a lot of it set aside for circuit breakers and switches.

I wouldn't build another homebuilt without one. I have a great deal of experience documentation on my RV-8 Construction log under the "Electrical" and "Avionics" sections. Below are links to each. Scroll down on the respective pages. Electrical System ---------------- http://www.mattsrv8.com/users/category.php?user=MattsRV8&project=638&category=3912 Avionics Systems ---------------- http://www.mattsrv8.com/users/category.php?user=MattsRV8&project=638&category=2971 (Look around 03-25-2009 for the final wiring installation). Marc Ausman of Vertical Power was a tremendous help to me during the design and installation of the electrical system. My score for the VP-200 system? 10/10. Hands down the coolest way to build a modern day aircraft electrical system.

It really loo ked like a quality valve.
