“No bird ever flew nonstop from New York to Tokyo, or raced 15 miles high at triple the speed of sound.                                                                                                   
  Birds do something else.   They do not conquer the air; they romance it..”

Only one picture but a very exciting moment as the VPX Sport Pro was fired up for the first time.

I wired the master switch and connected it to the master solenoid. The master solenoid is wired directly to the solenoid and is not controlled by the VPX.

When master switch was wired, I fired up the vpx. Lights came on as expected.

I wired the other switches to the pins on te d-sub connectors for switches on the VPX.

Then ran the cross ethernet cable to my laptop and started the vpx configurator software. No firmware updates were required.

The configurator has a test page which allow you to monitor the position of the switches. Very cool to see some life in the cockpit.
