At Oshkosh this year I spoke to a fellow Sportsman builder, Tim Dyer, who asked if I had considered the Vertical Power VP-50 which sells for about $1500. I knew about the VP-200 which is $6495 and had considered it out of my price range. However, after looking at the detailed data available on the VP web site, the VP-50 really does look interesting and possibly affordable since there are three of us building this Sportsman. www.verticalpower.com
So I posted a question on the Vertical Power forum about using the VP-50 with the Bob Nuckolls Z19RB schematic. Here is the reply I got within 2 hours from Marc Ausman, Mr. Vertical Power:
Vertical Power Join Date: Jan 2007 Posts: 223 VP-50 with Subaru engine You can use the VP-50 in the same manner as the VP-100 is used with the Subaru engine. In the docs section of our web site, you'll see a Subaru section. Use the VP-100 diagram as a reference - it is essentially the Z-19 diagram, but we designed it with Eggenfellner.
The way we recommend wiring is as follows: - the wiring specific for the Subaru engine is handled separately from the VP system. - the VP system is used to power all the other stuff on your aircraft. - the VP system is used to monitor the voltage of both batteries. On the VP-50, use J8 pin 12 input to monitor the aux battery voltage.
Any thoughts from anyone else?
