Aeronautical or Mechanical Engineer Recommendations for RV-14 Modifications?

[GroundPointNiner]

Does anyone have an aeronautical or mechanical engineer with RV knowledge / experience that they’d recommend?

Working on a bit of a unique project with my -14, and want to pick someone’s brain on component loading and potential structures reinforcement around the rear spar attach points.

In the certified world, I’d be looking for a DER, but in this case… a bit more flexible. That said, RV knowledge is a must - and I am happy to pay DER-level rates. Really just looking for advice finding someone who is smarter than I am

Thanks!

Aero engineer may be more appropriate since a lot of people don’t have a good understanding of what the loads are on the rear spar….
The highest loads are an outward tension load from the wing trying to sweep fwd at high AOA.

Thanks, Scott. I just edited post accordingly!
