Pros And Cons Of Experimental Aircraft! The Good The Bad And The Ugly. 

As far as I’m aware there are no airspace limitations for experimentals you can even fly them into foreign airspace as long as you get prior permission from the destination country. While the average owner cannot use their aircraft for hire or compensation, you can apply for a LODA(or letter of deviation authority) that will allow you to use your aircraft for hire in the specific area of giving instruction that cannot already be given in an aircraft with a standard airworthiness certificate. Say there was no one in your geographical area who was offering familiarization flights or instruction in a velocity. The owner of this aircraft given a large number of hours in the aircraft, a CFI certificate, and a current condition inspection could apply for a LODA with the local FSDO to teach flight instruction in that Aircraft.

In Canada the owner of a Homebuilt aircraft is allowed to sign off the maintenance don't need to be the builder. It would be good if the owner was knowledgeable about said aircraft and what to look for and how it's built of course. I bought a Europa XS mono from Punta Gorda FL. and did need to educate myself with the help of the experts always learning something new.

When i typed experimental aircraft into RU-vid this was exactly what i wanted

Its just a big model airplane. I have models all busted up and crooked that fly just fine. I fussed over my kolb refurb but when i got it in the air it flew just fine. Experimental can be much safer because you can look at the engine and fix it whenever you want. Certificated aircraft maintenance is very expensive, you have to fly to the mechanic, leave it etc. This makes people neglect them. You have to form wing ribs from sheet aluminum to be taken seriously tho, kit builders are just wannabes

What if you buy a mostly complete experimental with no build logs. Can you still get a permit?

Where's the next one?!!?

Sadly, the engine remains the same price for everyone, experimental or certified. Right now the Continentals are over $100k now. And to complete the engine installation, even at the home builder level, the full engine install with a big Continental as this plane has will be in the $125k range.

I would seriously ask that you concentrat. on the aircraft at hand. and for God sake unless it's Hitler himself flying that aircraft.. please do a good job on the maintenance that you perform.. distracted mechanic is only as good uncertified mechanic....

Can you zip tie brake lines on an experimental 😂

Pros: You can put all kids of cheap parts in them including fasteners and avionics. Cons: A lot of people are spending a lot of time and money building their own flying coffins.
