AFAIK, Experimental aircraft cannot be used in a commercial operation for
"Rides for hire" or Commercial Instruction to the general public.


Actually, I believe you may be at least partially wrong about the latter
part. Instruction is not considered to be "flying for hire", so you can
pay a CFI to instruct you in an experimental aircraft. I've also heard
conflicting reports as to whether it is legal to offer to rent or lease
an experimental aircraft on a commercial basis, some FBOs have been
doing it for years...
