Just a little less than a year ago, I dropped in to the Reno FSDO to pick up some Ops Lims for our eXenos, and was met by the three guys in the office that generally do E-AB inspections and issue AWC's. They were there to apologize that it took several months to get around to do our inspection, and that they had decided that they needed a DAR...and I was going to be it! “Slow forward” to today, when (ten months later) I received my DAR-T Letter of Authority and number!
It will take a few months to get through a couple of inspection with my FSDO inspector (sort of an OJT period), but when I have the hang of the paperwork process, I should be available for inspections as people need them. I feel very much like the new kid on the block compared to the experienced DAR's we have in this community (Mel, Vic, Tony, Scott....just to name a few), but hope to keep learning and helping folks turn their projects into airplanes in the years to come!
I’ll get Doug to add my contact information to the DAR list.

Awesome, Paul! Really happy to read this. Shoot me the information you want listed on the DAR list and I’ll happily add it.
I'm pretty sure you will stay REALLY busy! Nice to have someone with your background and knowledge looking at projects! Well-deserved!
