As was to be expected, there was some troubleshooting required to get all the avionics to play together nicely. I’m glad to report that practically all the snags could be worked out and we had only mechanical bull for sale miswired two pins (serial TX/RX swapped). Out of a zillion pins, that’s a pretty good feat I would claim. Most of the issues were related to software configurations and sometimes bugs, that will have to be fixed with firmware upgrades. However, there are no showstoppers and nothing that would keep us grounded.
Support by Advanced Flight Systems and Vertical Power is excellent, with very short response times and positive replies.
Looking forward to fuel system stuff and first engine start coming soon!
