I stand corrected...

Thanks for posting that!

If you don't learn something everyday, what's the point...

Sorry to diagree with you on this - I have clarified this very point
with
the FAA, and was told that a sport pilot CAN fly an experimental if it
meets
the limitations.

The following is on sportpilot.org as well:


If I become a sport pilot, what can I fly?

An aircraft that meets the definition of a light-sport aircraft may hold
an
airworthiness certificate in any one of the following categories of FAA
certification:
a.. an experimental aircraft, including amateur-built aircraft, for
which
the owner must construct more than 51-percent of the aircraft.
b.. a Standard category aircraft; that is, a ready-to-fly aircraft that
is
type-certificated in accordance with FAR Part 43.
c.. a Primary category aircraft; that is, a ready-to-fly aircraft that
is
type-certificated in accordance with Primary category regulations.
d.. a special light-sport aircraft
e.. an experimental light-sport aircraft.
