Vertical Power will be exhibiting at the Sun 'n Fun Fly-In at Lakeland Florida next week, from April 21 through 26.  We will have demos of the VP-200, VP-100 and VP-50 for you to examine in detail.

 

If you want to learn more about modern electrical systems, I will be presenting in the forum tents twice during the show. The presentation, entitled "Benefits of a Modern, Solid-State Electrical System," describes the differences between older switch and breaker style electrical systems and modern solid-state electrical systems. Two presentations:

 
Bryon Graves recently completed his first flight in the RV-7. Bryon's plane includes a Vertical Power VP-200, Advanced Flight EFIS, Garmin 430W, SL-30, and a DVD player.



In this case, the AFS 3400 EE provides engine data to the VP-200. The EFIS is used as the primary attitude source, and the VP provides primary engine and electrical system data, as well as trim and flap control and position display. A nice touch is that he installed the rear-mount VP switch panel so that it looks very integrated and uses the same labels as the rest of the panel. 
 
The trim is controlled by Vertical Power from switches on each of the sticks.

The Climate Control System is now flying and in field testing. The system controls both the air conditioning and heating. For more information, please visit the VP web site here.

We hope you find this newsletter worthwhile. If there are other topics you would like to see here, please drop us an e-mail.
