Sparrowhawk/Apis for rent

I don't know the specifics of renting experimentals, but I suspect
some of these are experimental. Also, I wonder how insurance
goes (esp for Sparrowhawk). Can one rent experimentals commercially,
or just in clubs? I honestly don't know (it's
never come up before).

We recently got an MDM-1 "Fox" Acro glider in Holllister with an
experimental cert. Right now our FBO isn't charging for instruction in
it or renting the ship. But he apparently found a way to do so by
talking to some folks at the EAA (I think).

BTW, Mark if you haven't been up in the Fox yet, you really need to go
for a ride. It's easy to fly. I did my first 360 degree rolls in it a
few weeks back. :-)

Yes, it sounds like a blast. I'm guessing they may have applied for,
and gotten, a waiver. There are folks who have done this.
There's a guy in Florida who does twin training in a Leza AirCam,
for profit, with an exemption this way.

So dual training sounds like at least an exemption, but what
about solo rental, for example? I haven't heard of this,
but again I haven't looked too close yet...
