Adding all data from one column to another column on seperate spreadsheet

Hi i'm going to try to explain this as best as I can and please excuse my phrasing I am a total spreadsheet noob :)
I have 2 sheets "Sheet 1" and "Sheet 2". In Sheet 1 column A as shown below I have multiple values under the header "Product #" and also some blank rows. I need an equation that will transfer all the non blank values from sheet 1, column A to Sheet 2 column A. The most important part though is I need this equation to work no matter how many values I have on Sheet 1. I also need the blank rows of sheet 2 left after the transfer to be manually editable (so in this example A7 and below). For example if I wanted to manually add the value Z80 to A7 on sheet 2
           Sheet 1                 Sheet 2
         A         B       ____  A         B       
1|  Product # |            1|  Product # |                                  
2|      Z50   |            2|            |
3|      Z51   |            3|            |
4|      Z52   |            4|            |
5|      Z53   |            5|            |
6|      Z54   |            6|            |
7|            |            7|            |
8|            |            8|            |
9|            |            9|            |
I left an example spreadsheet that might be easier to visualize than my representation above.
Thanks so much in advance for any and all help!
