    Default VPX-Sport from Vertical Power

    For the wiring of the SS-7, sould be easyer and simplify to work with this solidstate Electronic circuit breakers.

    Dose someone ever use or has intent to use it on his bild?
    Should save weight, and make electrical system more safer.

    The EXP Bus is another solid state option for these planes.

    Haven't done any product comparision in the last few years since I built my plane but I do like the solid state option and EXP Bus has worked well for me.

    But with the VPX you can control each solidstate switchs trough the EFIS and easyly modulate exit current like you want..... Dose CMEXP 100 can do that too?

    By the way Esser, what EFIS will you use? SkyView?

    Going MGL all the way paired with MGL V6 comm. I think they have a great product there with lots of customization capabilities and great price.

    I originally was going to go with the Skyview but after doing some research I changed his mind.

    What really set the MGL apart from the others was how customizable it is. you can set up 9 different customizable screens depending on your flying operation and you can set up live camera feed. I want to get into some aerial filming so the idea of having the monitor feed right behind my attitude indicator some what appealed to me. The MGL is in integrated with their comm which Dynon does not have and was actually the first thing that brought me towards MGL. MGL is used in unlimited Reno air racers because they are so customizable. I believe Relentless uses it for a taxi cam. On top of all that, I like the numerical pad on the right side of the EFIS. The have a touch screen EFIS out now but I don't think I will get that one. I may try it at Oshkosh and see how I feel about it.
