So below is what I have projected for my panel but I figured I would run it by some other people before I commit to it.
Dual 10'' Skyview
Skyview Transponder
Single ADAHRS
PSE 100EX
Ipad with Garmin Pilot
Vertical power Sport
Dual P Mags
Pictures seen here
The aircraft is being set up to be strictly VFR but can be made IFR if wanted to later on down the road. (Adding backup ADAHRS, Possibly larger VPX, and certified GPS)
With this current setup Everything except for the Radio will have a battery back up. So if the VPX craps out on me, I will be able to pull a Handheld from the baggage as a backup, the skyviews will both have an hour of battery backup, Ipad will run for hours for navigation weather etc.. and the P mags will be able to sustain power as long as the engine is above 800 RPM this should be plenty to get me back on the ground.
When reading the VPX manual it states that with a setup such as this there is no need for any additional Busses, in my mind this makes sense because all the bus is going to do is distribute power from a different source but if I have battery backups this is unnessacary does this sound correct?
Also With what I have running to it, would the VPX Sport or Pro be best utilized. From what I read the VPX Pro is there if you either A have alot of systems and components running to it requiring more ports, or B you have a dual power source, IE 2 Alternators, or 2 Batteries.
So after this brief run down does it sound like I have my stuff together or do I have alot to learn, I have been reading all the manuals while I can which has been a help, I'm just wanting to go into it with enough knowledge that I have a good basis and dont screw up too much.
Thanks in Advance
