Well, I want to be as helpful as I can be but there is no way I can support an OFFICIAL approval committee handing out the law. I don't like subordinating ourselves in the EAA power structure either. Lastly if you involve Insurance Companies in this, they will decide what and what not you can do. Just ask your doctor. Jerry

Polling the list...
Interest in forming such a group. Participation requirements will be
left to be determined.
Goals as previously stated:
1) Member Education and Safety
2) Pre-First Flight and Phase One Inspections and Support
3) Ongoing Peer Technical Support for rotary engined aircraft
4) Industry Liason (Insurance, Manufacturers, Kit Builders)
5) Accident Investigation / Rotary Engine Expertise
This list serv can serve (with Marv's approval) as the means for
distributing information regarding the group.
It can incorporate separately, or as an independent EAA chapter, or as
an adjunct to an existing EAA chapter. Incorporate or add on to a 501C3
so that expenses can be deducted by members.
The Annual Business Meeting would be held in a public airshow venue,
such as OSH, SNF, or Pickneyville.. prefereably someplace centrally
located so ALL can attend with less than 2 days flying.
Members would volunteer to be advocates for the rotary engine, provide
peer safety inspections and technical counseling. Reimbursement for
services/expenses can be considered and are to be determined later.
We can better determine our direction and focus once an initial core
group decides to start functioning. Once we know who/what our resources
are, then we can better determine where to begin.
