Then we need a committee that will inspect the engine installation and
give its OK before permission is granted to call it that name.  There
has to be a quality control process that will verify the risk factor of
the engine installation.  Are we willing and/or ready to do that.
We do need a safe engine installation.

I, for one, am not ready for anyone "certifying" my engine or airplane
whether it is a committee of fellow rotary enthusiasts or the FAA.
Please don't  presume to protect me from myself.        Jerry

I agree with Jerry 100%
I'd be more than willing to follow guidelines and listen to the reasoning of intelligent people.  But don't even think of instigating a new beaurocracy.

And I third that motion. I know as much about engines and mods as any of
those certified guys, and for the most part if they are going to listen
to an auto mechanic that doesn't modify engines they would listen to
anyone else that suited their needs.
I will let the FAA inspect my airplanes/Helicopters in compliance with
the law, but not outside of that realm  in the least.
I would listen to someone that I knew understood things better than I,
but would take that in consideration with my experence and reasearch.
I consider Paul Ed, and Tracy to be very knowledgable in the rotary
realm, but  I would prove their thoughts for myself as well.
If I had to have someone grade my project, I would certainly choose
one/both of them far ahead of any dealer mechanic or legal eagle.
