Vertical Power
Eric,
Well, as you might expect... I love it! 
Seriously though, it works as advertised. We don't have all the features in yet, but the basic idea behind the Mode switching, checklists popping up when you want them to, and lots of other pilot workload-reduction features are working well. I flogged it pretty hard during a BFR the other day and had no issues.
Am working on a video so you can see it go through a typical flight.

Thanks Rick! You're too nice. When you get up close, you can see it's not a show plane, just a weekly flyer with plenty of blemishes. Would love to build another one, but it'll have to wait till the kids are older, maybe out of the house. 
Vertical Power videos are now up at http://www.verticalpower.com/gallery.html
If there's anything else you'd like to see on video (about our products of course), send an email and we'll see what we can do.

An amzaing product, great plane, and a nice guy
FWIW Marc was the guest speaker at our EAA chapter mtg this week. He had a demo unit with him and gave an excellent presentation about his product, answered all of our silly (?) questions. and then afterward we all walked out to the ramp to see his new plane with the product installed. He went through the demo again, only this time with the 'real thing' VERY IMPRESSIVE.
Good on you Marc!
and thanks for a great meeting

Seat Belts
Marc,
Beautiful plane, I have a completed -7 and am slowly making some changes to it. You are motivating me to change my panel.
Where did you get your seat belts? Are they Hooker?

Seat belts are from Hooker. They'll make 'em however you want.

Hi Mark,
I used to work with you at Eclipse a few years back and remembered you were going to build a 7. I'm getting ready to build a 7A and was curious if there are any areas that should be of concern? Also, did you build this airplane with Warren H. or on your own? By the way, your airplane is unbelievable. It's one of the nicest I've seen. Take care.

Mike, Are you still in Albuquerque? If so I'd be glad to take you up flying for some intial motivation! Warren's -9A is out at AEG right now and flying, although he's not involved in it any more.

Marc,
Those products you have there make the slobber pour out of my mouth! The video is a great selling tool! Too bad I ain't mad of money or I would have one of those babies!
