Thank you for all your comments on fuel pumps and fuel selectors. Another area that I am starting work to work on is the electrical system. The Vertical Power VP-X systems seems to greatly simply the wiring process. I would appreciate any feedback on using the VP-X, I admit I am electrically challenged and anything to simplify putting together the electrical system would be helpful. Does is save time and simplify the wiring process?
Thanks in advance.

You need to make sure the EFIS system is approved for use with the VP-X. I want to use the VP-X but the G3X is not an approved EFIS for VP at this time. I wish it were because I would definitely be using one. If you were going to add WigWag, trim Safety etc. to your build the VP almost pays for itself.

I've installed the VP-50 because I don't have the fancy, schmancy EFIS that you need for the VP-X. I love this system. I guess the VP-X is even better. The other day I added wig-wag capability to the plane. I didn't need to do any more wiring, or buy any wig-waggy equipment. I just needed to do a software upgrade ( a free upgrade). I've added a section to my blog about VP
http://rvnewsletter.blogspot.com/search/label/Vertical%20Power
I've included a video in there about how easy it is to hook up a component, and get it running. The biggest thing I like about VP-50 is I have a TON of panel space available because I don't have a lot of it set aside for circuit breakers and switches.

Hi Heyden,
I have the Vertical Power VP-200 system in my RV-8 and love it. I wouldn't build another homebuilt without one. I have a great deal of experience documentation on my RV-8 Construction log under the "Electrical" and "Avionics" sections. Below are links to each. Scroll down on the respective pages.

Avionics Systems
----------------

(Look around 03-25-2009 for the final wiring installation).
.
Marc Ausman of Vertical Power was a tremendous help to me during the design and installation of the electrical system. My score for the VP-200 system? 10/10. Hands down the coolest way to build a modern day aircraft electrical system.
