So, your understanding of the rule is correct - we're just boring the hell out of RAS with this academic discussion is all. This really is academic because I've personally never seen this applied in the case of a glider; I believe the rule exists only to keep the aircraft that are temporarily in experimental R&D or Exp. Show Compliance under part 43 while they fly off the test flight requirements. Sorry if I mislead you earlier, Jim Jim/Bob This is NOT boring for me. It is a subject near and dear to my heart. When I bought my 'Experimental' glider, I had no idea of the ramifications. Knowing what I know now (or believe), I will NEVER own a TC'd glider. Your discussion has clarified/confirmed the conclusion another LVVSA member came to after hours of research. Many Thanks! |

Many Thanks! I have to echo this as well. I find RAS vastly informative AND entertaining! I also will never own a TC'd glider (again). When the HP-24 is done the plan is for her to be my retirement ship. I'll be able to do all the work myself and stay as far away from the local A&I as I can. Of course I have friends who are A&P's and I will always have a second pair of eyes to look the ship over. Brad |

On a subject mentioned earlier in this thread, I believe you can
register a TC'ed glider as Experimental. My basis for this conclusion is that many ASW-27s are registered Experimental despite being TC'ed. Also, I once had an LS-3 that was registered Experimental despite being TC'ed.
