In my "not yet flying" RV-8, I have a VP-X, and dual Skyview setup.
I had a VP-X circuit breaker trip in the garage yesterday (yes, I know why it tripped), and I reset it via the VP-X screen on the Skyview. But it got me thinking about how I would do that in the air if both Skyview systems tripped.
Due to the nature of the VP-X, it doesn't have a breaker itself.
The only thing I can think of is to cycle the mains, to get the VP-X to reset. But I don't know for sure if that will reset all circuits. Doing that would not really be a good thing in flight, given that the plane has an EFII.
1) Is there any other way to reset it?
2) Can anyone confirm if power cycling the VP-X cause all the ECBs to reset?
