I don't think it's necessary to register an aircraft as experimental in
order to legally owner/manufacture parts for it. There's a section of the
FARs that allows for owner built parts. This section allows orphaned classic
and antique aircraft to keep flying.

What are the pros and cons of putting my Schweizer glider under the
Experimental Catagory? With recent trouble in getting parts etc., it
seems to me that is might make some things easier.
