Default Experimental question

I recently bought an experimental DG-303.
I am trying to get the new op limitations done ASAP while the season is ticking away. The FAA is not at the pace of my desire to get this thing up!
My question:
I've heard that a buyer might be able to fly using the previous limitations and a/w for 30 days while waiting to get the papers updated. Is this true?


It mainly depends on the Ops Limitations that are currently issued for your glider. If you can fly the glider while complying with all the limitations listed in them then no problem. You have to notify the new geographically responsible FSDO of your intent to operate the experimental aircraft in their area using the previous ops limitations within 30 days. You could continue to operate with the original limitations indefinitely unless you can't comply with the limitations for some reason. Some Ops Limits will specify a specific area where the aircraft can be flown etc...
