Subject: Vertical Power's VP-X system=

A question for those who have experience w= ith the Vertical Power VP-X electronic circuit breaker system.
<= /p>
I am building a LN360, and plan to fit proba= bly the Garmin G3X EFIS system. I am considering also fitting the VP-X syste= m, but in recent conversations with other builders have been told the tried a= nd true thermal CB=E2=80=99s are a better way to go. The view of some is tha= t while the VP-X can do a lot of clever things, it is not a simple system to= set up, and can suffer from reliability issues.

I am interested in the opinions of others who have used th= e VP-X, or know of the experience of others who have.

Thanks in anticipation.
