Default CHANGING AWC FROM STANDARD TO EXPERIMENTAL AIR RACING

I have a PIK20B which has a Standard Airworthiness certificate. I want to change the AWC to Experimental Air Racing to facilitate two modifications: changing the drum brake to a hydraulic disk type and possibly the addition of winglets.

I would appreciate any advice and/or opinions from those who may have gone through this AWC change process.

Many thanks in advance,

Paul

Contact your FSDO for the best advice to change the airworthiness
certificate. But, perhaps the brake mod at least, could be done as a
field approval. Ask your mechanic about that.

Another option is to keep the Std AWC and do a 337 for these mods. If you go experimental you will have to do an annual program letter. Also, Std A/C can operate in Canada w/o additional paperwork and cost.
