Dad's RV-10
Well Known Member
I’ve got some decisions to make regarding the panel and electrical system in my RV-10. The system will likely be a single battery with a B&C alternator, a Monkworkz backup generator and a VP-X Pro.
There is considerable overlap between the VP-X and the GAD-27, so I’d like to hear some thoughts on whether it’s worthwhile to consider using both.
My RV-7 has no Integrated Battery Back-up System (IBBS) or Intelligent Power Stabilizer (IPS). I normally wait for the GSU-25 to align before engaging the starter but the ADAHRS will almost always realign after starter engagement due to the voltage drop (though the GDU-370's usually stay illuminated). The GAD-27 can eliminate this issue but so can a TCW IPS.
I’ve read that the GAD-27 has separate channels (pilot & copilot) for trim mixing vs. the VP-X and also has slightly different flap and wig-wag management. I’m not sure if any of those are compelling enough to install a GAD-27 with a VP-X Pro?
There’s probably a lot I’m not considering, so I’m interested in hearing the thought and experiences of others.
Thanks.
