i'm not sure what he did. he denies doing anything wrong and the mechanic that did the investigation after the overlimit was noticed on the vemd has left the company. can avionics be powered up with no engine installed? i want to read the vemd report on the flight and get the facts. i dont' think it lied. i think the only lies the vemd puts out are the nr ones with transmission towers. i hear you on the gauges, however, with another pilot flying this thing, i'm glad there is a vemd, it gets rid of any trust issues.
