I get how the Vertical Power VP-X can know if the engine is running, in order to not activate the starter (I assume it is looking at alternator voltages).
But can anyone tell me how the VP-X determines your airspeed in order to auto-enable/disable the wigwag function?
Also, does it wigwag the taxi lights, when you turn on the landing lights, or does it wigwag the landing lights? If it is the landing lights, wouldn't that be disorienting on landing?
Since it doesn't allow you to turn off the wigwag other than by speed, would you ever want to do that with landing lights on? The plan is to make my RV-8 IFR capable. So is it bad in lower visibility conditions? I haven't had the pleasure yet of night flying in an airplane with wigwag capability.
I tried to run the config software, to see if I could get answers from looking at the screens, but it won't let you in without a device connected.
