Angier,
 
Your prop did not over speed.  Note that while the pump was running the voltage was lower than during the time the pump was not running.  While 13.2 VDC is not that low, the MVP may be sensitive to that or to an unusual ground loop relative to the pump ground.  The same may be true for the fuel flow sensor.  Check it out.
 
I like the hydraulic pressure included in the data logging.

PS do not worry about 2710 rpm..  You may want to change the limit values slightly.  Then again, why did the mstr wrn go away or did you reset it.

Today's 2hr flight was normal in all respects with the single exception that immediately after liftoff, the MVP-50 began screaming 'check RPM'. The RPM display was close to 4000 and fuel flow spiked.
Nevertheless engine sounds remained normal. Sure got my attention.
At 6:29:28 and just as the gear started to come up is when the RPM indication spiked for all of about
5 seconds. Haven't seen this before.

What would the common, everyday prop overspeed sound like?? not that I ever want to hear it....
