Agreed. But question asked and never answered (if
it was, I missed it and beg forgiveness) is where is it written that starting an engine before lighting up the electro-whizzies is a high-risk activity that flirts with $missery$ in the engine shop?

IMHO, when the engine is running, your eyes need to be outside the airplane, not fiddling with the fancy avionics setting up your flight plan, etc. All the fiddling should be done and things ready to go by the time you are ready to push the start button. As others have mentioned in the past, some of the systems do not retain the flight information or other flight info after a reboot.
I see it as a safety issue, not related to engine gauges, etc. Others do have the concern about the engine instruments, and this is important to them.

I was trying say the stuff we are installing is targeted at experimental aircraft, not certified.
Your point about retrofits into flying aircraft, even experimental, is well taken (an exercise I just went through earlier this year), but adding brownout protection to the electrical system is no more difficult than the panel retrofit, and I anticipated it as part of the overall upgrade project.

I know. There are many of us on this list that are convinced that brownout protection is important, though, and are trying to gently guide you in that direction...
