Experimental or not?

All experimentals come with a set of Operating Limitations. Within this
document can be placed a restriction to follow what ever FAR they want to
impose. "Must be Maintained by an A&P" and then that is a requirement. Must
write a maintenance manual and have it approved by the MIDO then that must
be done before flight. Must follow FAR 91.xxx then that what you have to
do. The FARs may remove regulations, the OpLims put them back in spades.

There are two main airworthiness categories: Standard and Special.

Standard airworthiness aircraft are proven to meet certain FAA
standards, and
The FAA waiver usually demands that these planes receive
professional-type
maintenance similar to that of standard airworthiness aircraft (e.g.,
the L-39
instructor won't be allowed the maintain the plane himself unless he has
an A&P
license).

I'm curious what warbird experimentals come with a restriction that A&P's
must maintain them. Far as I know, all experimentals are still exempt from
FAA Part 43, and all of them carry the same annual condition inspection
requirement in the operating limitations...

43.1.(b) This part does not apply to any aircraft for which the FAA has
issued an experimental certificate, unless the FAA has previously issued a
different kind of airworthiness certificate for that aircraft.
