I agree. So given that many single seat rentals ARE experimental, what
to do? Will my insurnace company pay for an accident knowing the
lessor illegaly leased an experimental plane to me? I guess I just
shouldn't rent...

The word 'lease' might be misunderstood here. It refers
to the owner; he/she is forbidden to let an experimental
aircraft out for hire. The pilot/renter is probably
also in trouble.

up to half. I guess you can't tell by type of glider
either, as it
depends on how they were imported, equipment, etc.

Under what conditions can you rent an experimental
glider? Doesn'=
t 91.319
prohibit that?

How so? A pilot renting a glider is not 'Carrying
persons or property
for compensation or hire.'
