Vertical Power info
Hi all being in long away Aussie it is hard to get info sometimes. Have been looking at the Vertical power stuff also interested in there new ! power distributions system on the firewall. But they seem to really not be happening on their face book page and there webb site seems to be the same for years.
Are they still going or has their product starting to have problems. Just chasing feedback a big investment to make if the company is not travelling well. Thanks all Rory Hatchett Sydney Australia |
G'day Rory, VP is still going, they are bought out by Astronics a few months ago, but they have kept the VP-X product line.
I have a VP-X Sport in my -9 and have only had one, very minor, problem whereby one of the installation screws had the plate nut come loose inside the VP-X, so I couldn't get the screw out to install it. VP (Marc A at the time) sorted it out no worries - Customs were a bigger headache to deal with reying to charge me GST again, the muppets... It talks to my Dynon happily, though I do wonder if I should have stumped up the cash for a Pro model though to get the dual bus redundancy. I would happily buy another though, of either model, if I was in the market. |
Ditto! I love my VP-X Sport! Very easy to wire and configure. Will plan to purchase again on my second offense! :o)

Here's a thread with an associated poll you might find interesting.

Interesting thread that one, certainly makes a lot more checking worth while.

VP-X Pro. Installed over 3 years ago. I'd never build another panel without one.

Hi Rory,
I sent you an email just now, but thought I'd chime in here too. The VP-X is being made by Astronics Ballard Technology in Everett, WA and I am the support and sales contact for you. I am in charge of the Facebook page and I have to admit I haven't been active with it lately...I should post more there. The website is undergoing renovation evaluation right now...it's going to change soon and have a fresh look and feel. Let me know if you have any questions...and the poll referenced is a good place for people to let us know of issues they've had, but is in no way accurate as a representation of all units out there. Have a good one! |
Chad,
Do you or Ballard have any reliable mtbf data based on repair history or company records you would like to share with the group? |
