Your scenarios are possible, but not probable.
First, there wasn't a Blue Mountain in the plane. Second, it looks like he
was flying with the Dynon as primary. Third, he flew into a thunderstorm, by
many accounts I've read. I think the thunderstorm scenario describes the
most probable of all scenarios that could cause real trouble. I don't agree
with flying the Dynon IMC, but I don't see it as being a bad backup either.
As to your comment about the displays being small, the BMA is large, bigger
than a regular 3 inch.
 The only one who knows what happened is this poor fellow that was in the
plane- God Bless him.

  It grieves me that we've lost yet another brother.  I've followed this
list for several years now and come to rely on the opinions and experiences
of our list community.  Yet, I am disturbed.
