Is it possible to change the operating limitations of your homebuilt after
it has been certified?
Let me take the more extreme case...
I was wondering, if one owned (or bought) an RV3, is it possible to change
the operating limitiations to have a red line of 120 knots, and a maximum
continous RPM that arrives at a speed or 120 knots?
This would potentially make it fit as a sport pilot airplane (when flown
within the operating limitations)



Mike..........

Unless I'm greatly mistaken, neither RPM nor airspeed limits are contained
in the Operating Limitations of an Experimental, Amateur-built aircraft.

Not sure if it is true, but my understanding was that the instrument
markings were required as the operating limitations.
