There is one other major instrumentation problem that you are still yet to notice. (Clue - My nickname is Buzz and I drink SUB zero)
I assure you it's totally above board. It was a VFR transit with clearance to 10,000ft (on climb). As much as the cloud looks solid, it was quite scattered so VFR over the top for 5-10 mins max. I was wondering at the time why I didn't get a code though... still not sure.
The GPS is actually turned on and rightly so, there is no VOR / ADF mounted in sight. So, by the letter of the law, for VFR over the top not strictly legal without a positive visual position fix.
The ASI is the old original J400 one and wasn't updated as it should have been. Green arc now extends to 125 knots.
DG is not aligned either. Perhaps the barrel rolls earlier toppled it
It was a requirement for VFR over the top as the solar panel needed sunlight to charge the battery for the DVD system
Ahhh the joys of a homebuilt.
