OK, true enough. There is one experimental at Fox field that no one will
even try a high speed taxi with.
When I think of experimentals, I think of RVs, Lancairs, etc.

=======================================
When talking experimental it is difficult not to consider the quality of the
building. Just because it is an RV does not mean it fly's like an RV. And
when you talk about "not well thought out", you MUST put Grumman's under that
classification as well.

I deal with some of these guys from time to time from 'inside the Beltway.' It
is very interesting in that the whole FSDO/ACO/DER concept are almost empires
unto themselves, since management in DC is technically incompetent. There isn't
any consistency mainly because the program managers have no clue. It can
get quite humorous when the guys from the Atlantic City Tech Center are on a conference
call with management types in DC...
The bottom line, until an FAA Administrator comes along that actually spent any
real time in aviation product development or GAMA pays off a lobbiest to put
language into legislation and force the issue, it ain't gonna get any better.
The writing is pretty much on the wall, and why I am leaning towards building my
next plane. I still want to wait and see how the whole "turbodiesel vs. pocket
turbine" contest falls out.
