[SMO]

I intend to start a support group for all Owners of the Vertical Power products that are no longer supported. This includes the VP-200, VP-100, and the VP-50.

The purpose of this group is to:

1. collect data on the total installed base;
2. collect information on the number and types of failures;
3. collect information on repairs attempted, successful or not;
4. identify surplus equipment/parts;
5. determine if there is a way to keep these products in good repair for the foreseeable future; and
6. provide a consolidated voice for approaching Astronics Ballard Technology with respect to these products.

If you are an owner of one of these products please send me an email with any information you have related to items 1 ? 5 above. If you know of others who would like to participate please provide them with my email address. I am posting on this forum and Lancairtalk.net. If you know of any other forums where it would be useful to post this please let me know.

I intend to share the information collected, initially through mass emails. Your email address will not be shared with others without your specific consent.

Disclosure: I have a VP-200 installed in an F1 EVO Rocket, it is working well at this point.

Suggestion Box is OPEN.
