My Policy has this requirement: A Standard Airworthyness Certificate.
I do not think that "Experimental" is "Standard".. but I could be
wrong... but it does specify that I am covered for SEL, MEL, LSA and
Gliders.

"Non-owned aircraft" means an aircraft you rent or borrow. Its use
must be with the owner's permission. It cannot be owned in whole or in
part by, or furnished for more than 30 consecutive days to:
a. you or your spouse;
b. parents, children, brothers or sisters of you or your spouse;
c. a corporation, partnership or other organization in which any
combination of people shown in a. and b. above own more than 20%.
It must have all of the following:
a. fixed wings;
b. a standard airworthiness certificate;
c. United States or Canadian registry.
