Default handicaps for one-offs?

Hypothetical questions: Say a pilot wants to enter a regional

could have been his new '29.


You may have noticed the "Neidrauer NG-1" has been added to the US
handicap list. This is a one off modified BG-12 that i bought last
year and hope to get flying this season. I asked David Stephenson the
same question and his response was that since it was BG-12 based he
would give it the BG-12 handicap for the first year and then modify it
as needed after that I suppose.
