    Copperstate Fly-In & Expo
    February 6-9, Buckeye AZ

    We're heading to the Copperstate Fly-In & Expo February 6-9 at the Buckeye Municipal Airport in Buckeye, AZ. Come and say hi to Chad in the Exhibit Hangar, Booth #35 and see the Primary Power System (PPS), get a demo of the VP-X Electronic Circuit Breaker System, and have all of your questions answered.

    Copperstate offers exhibits of aviation equipment and aircraft, forums, workshops, an air show, and more. If you're planning to be there, please make a point to stop by and see us.

    3.30.2019 - Announcing the Release of the Vertical Power Primary Power System (PPS)

    We are pleased to announce the official launch of the Vertical Power Primary Power System (PPS) for experimental and Light-Sport aircraft. The PPS is a carefully-engineered and highly-qualified device that handles your high-current power, eliminating outdated and unreliable electro-mechanical components.

    5 years in the making, thousands of hours of testing and engineering, and the PPS is finally here, ready for your order!

     

    3.28.2019 - The Copperstate Fly-In was absent in 2018 due to a move to a date earlier in the year going forward. February 2019 proved to be a great time to hold this event as attendance to the fly-in portion was very good for a show this size.

    The show is now held in conjunction with a weekend airshow, helping the numbers significantly overall, and the quality of people visiting the booth early (before the airshow) was great. Now located in Buckeye, AZ just southwest of Phoenix, the airport supported the show nicely. There was a nice vendor turnout for the return of the show, and I was busier than expected.

    This show serves to get us, as vendors, in front of the EAB and LSA crowd that isn’t able to make it to Florida or Wisconsin for the big shows. I for one, was quite happy and impressed with how the show was organized this year. We’ll be back next year, but for now, come see us at Sun 'n Fun in Lakeland, FL. Chad, Jeff, and our newest member of the VP team, Peter, will be there to answer all of your questions.

    3.5.2019 - Vertical Power had a great week at the light sport expo in Sebring, FL over the last weekend in January. High winds and cool temps didn’t keep the crowds and airplanes away, and the numbers in the booth reflect this. I think this is another record year for booth visits since we’ve had a booth in the exhibitor tent. The exhibitor hall was sold out, and the location of the tent was much better this year being right outside the main terminal building so people walk in the show and can immediately make their way through the various vendors. One day of rain on Thursday slowed things down a little bit, but it was still a good day and the booths were busy. I don’t know what the official numbers were from attendance, but they did have a larger turnout of indoor and outdoor vendors, as well as a number of activities throughout the day for people to take part in. I was able to meet with a few OEM’s that I haven’t talked to in the past, and will sign up one of them as our newest OEM shortly. Next year’s show is already on the calendar and we’ll look forward to returning once again in 2020.

    1.2.2019 - The annual trip down to Sebring, Florida in January is just around the corner. Chad will be there tending to the booth to answer any and all questions you may have about the VP-X and PPS. We have brand new demo displays that will feature the Garmin G3X Touch, Dynon HDX, and the iPad/iLevil interface. Our location will be inside the vendor tent, booth 403. So if you are planning to attend the show…or maybe just stopping by because you want to be in Florida in January…say hi and get the latest info on Vertical Power.

    1.2.2019 - We are happy to be attending Copperstate again this year. The fly-in takes place on February 8, 9, and 10 at Buckeye Municipal Airport, Buckeye AZ. Chad will be in the Vertical Power booth in the Exhibit Hangar (Booth #27) and is ready to answer all of your questions about the VP-X and PPS. If you are at the show, stop by and say hi and get the latest info on Vertical Power.

    7.17.2018 - Vertical Power is headed to Oshkosh, and we can't wait to see you there! Our booth will be in the same spot as last year - Hangar C, Booth 3077. Jeff and Chad will be at the show all week to answer questions, talk about the VP-X and its numerous features, and meet with as many builders as they can. We're still moving forward with the PPS, and would love to talk with you and answer any questions about it at the show.

    4.4.2018 - We can't wait to see everyone in Lakeland for another great year at Sun 'n Fun 2018! We will be in our usual spot, booth D-77 in Hangar D, right down the middle aisle. Chad and Jeff will be there to give demonstrations, answer questions, and update the status of the Primary Power System. Chad will also be giving a forum during the first day of the show in the forums building located west of the main entrance gate.

    4.4.2018 - The 2018 Light Sport Expo in Sebring, Florida was a bigger success this year than most anticipated. This event is known as the "kick-off" show for the trade show season, and as long as the weather is good, this is a great show to begin the year. This is the third year Chad has attended the show to represent Vertical Power products, and the second year being there with a booth. The attendance numbers were up from previous years, and Chad was successful in circulating around the show to talk with the variety of LSA manufacturers in attendance.

    4.3.2018 - In celebration of the first 100 years of the Royal Air Force, Group Captain Mark Manwaring – a Royal Air Force fast jet navigator – plans to break both British and World Speed Records for Circumnavigation of the Earth in a Class C-1-B aircraft - all while flying solo.

    His flight is set to take off in August 2019, and we will be following along with his journey in our ongoing RAF Flight of the Navigator series. Click through to read the first installment.
