I know that many of the L-39's and other warbirds
are operated as experimentals since they were
never certified in the US.

My question is this:

If you modify a production aircraft and call it
"experimental" what flight and/or use restrictions
apply to that aircraft?

Anyone know the rules?

I don't know the answer but assuming we are talking about the same
helicopter here's the registration info on it.

It is registered as Experimental-Exhbition. I do no that there may be
restrictions specific to the aircraft. If you are serious about it I'd
e-mail them and ask for a copy of the aircraft's AW certificate and I'd call
the EAA.
