I could help

I can help, and I'm in Nashville. That's probably not a big issue since it's you need quite a few hours and we could do some trips to build them. I have a MEII certificate with lots of time in 337s...

To be clear

If you have a multiengine rating you log multiengine time. The FAA gives a multiengine rating and limits it to centerline thrust if the test is taken in a plane like an F-111, F/A-18, F-15, T-38,...

Don Neiser at Commodore Aerospace at Wiley Post in OKC has a good mechanic who builds O-2s. Don may have better recommendations if you don't want to go that far.

I was not aware of this quirk in the FAA regulations. Can you point me toward the FAR for reference? I need to advise my students.
