I'd think that a formal organization might
need to be in existence for an insurance company to take it
seriously.
This may be another step towards making alternative
engine installations routine and safe (if there's such a thing as safe). A sort
of self-policing association.
Now that it's been brought up (Thanks, Al), I
wouldn't think of making a first flight without some experienced eyeballs taking
a close looksee at my "perfect" installation. It would be nice to know that the
inspectors had at least flown successfully.
My two cents.

Am I way off the
mark here? Could/would this work? Are there others out there who
would participate as “examiners”? Would you welcome such “look-over” on
your project? Do you think it would do any good? I’d like some feedback
on this, and then see whether it makes sense to pursue it any further.
Hi
Al,
I think this is
a noble effort, but I don't see that anything formal needs to be set
up. I'd bet that anyone on this list would
feel comfortable asking to see someone else's project,
or asking to have someone look at
theirs.
Now if you
could pitch this idea to the insurance companies, for a condition of
first flight coverage, or cheaper rates, then you may be onto
something.
Cheers,
Rusty (balance
