It's Easy to Get Started

Use the online VP-X Planner to plan the electrical “backbone” of your system, type of alternator(s), devices, loads, switch configurations, and other aspects of your aircraft wiring. This is the tool that will create the confituration file to load on to your VP-X.

For PPS installations, use the PPS Operating Manual and wiring diagrams to create a plan for your primary power wiring.

The Vertical Power VP-X Online Load Planning tool is designed to provide experimental builders with a framework for planning all phases of their electrical system. It's free and easy to use, with the following features:

• Build a custom configuration of avionics and devices.
• Create a simple customized electrical diagram, specific to your aircraft.
• Customized pinout diagram complements the Vertical Power installation manual.

Now that you’ve completed the system planning, it's time to install your Vertical Power components. Refer to the PPS and VP-X Installation and Operating Manuals for detailed instructions on mounting your units, as well as wiring loads, grounds, switches, and other items.

For VP-X installations, download the configurator program, load your .vpx file created from the online planner and using the setup menus, configure the trims and flaps, and other settings. You can also do this step prior to Step 2 on a test bench.

Verify proper operation on the ground. Verify correct operation of each device, trim, flaps, alerts, runaway trim protection, and other settings.

Verify proper operation in flight.
