Steve,
You're probably thinking of Ron Gowan. He inspected my Lancair (20B). He used to fly a rotary-powered canard. I think he flies for Delta out of Atlanta, Ga, but lives in Denton. He's a great guy that serves as a DAR to help out the local EAA. I don't know how far he will travel, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. His number is 817/975-2138. When he inspected my project, he arranged to fly into Austin, get a rental car, drive to Lockhart, then drive back to Dallas. He wouldn't take anything for his troubles, but I did manage to get him to let me pay for the rent car and gas.
His two comments concerning my project was to pay close attention to: 1) the cooling system, and 2) the gearbox.

Somewhere I remember reading about a DAR that was rotary-friendly and who would travel to my location to to a certification. Was that here? Does anyone remember who that was? Thanks to all for this great list and all who so graciously provide such valuable information.
Best Regards,
Steve Thomas
