Experimentals To Be Banned To Rural Airports?

Doesn't matter. Its "experimental". I could have a million hours on an
airframe and it still be "experimental".

Your impression is wrong. You were wrong with your first response. Why
don't you respond to that and say something like; "sorry, I was
wrong?"

airports?

You were wrong and typed a lie. Now you are hiding behind these new
questions.

By definition, experimental aircraft have unknown characteristics. It
makes
sense that you'd want to test them out away from heavily populated areas.
Boeing and other civilian and military manufacturers don't test out their
new
designs at LAX.

Experimental aircraft do not have "unknown characteristics" any more than
any other aircraft such as certified and military aircraft which are
routinely flight tested in heavily populated areas.

You are right about the initial tests which is why I will be using an
airport with nice large fields at both ends and no population centers
within a couple of miles. That was a choice that I could make but is
not available to every homebuilder. Most of our airports have been
surrounded by housing developments which greatly restrict operations
including those for non-experimental aircraft.

I'm using a field that is out in the middle of a bunch of soybean and
cotton fields, at least for the initial flights. It is well worth the
extra drive.

Stuff is likely to hit the fan, and I want to have more options than a
subdivision.

I dont know where you get your definitions, but you just proved how much
you DONT know...

Anthony, you are wrong once again.

Tell us all, did you get this information from a reliable source? You
claimed to get your "one must fly by instruments" info from a reliable
source. I asked you several times to give the source information which
you never did do.

Anthony, you are a liar. How about that long-awaited source
information which you so conveniently ignored? Will you ignore even
this request and continue your string of false information?

In the context of this discussion 'experimental' is a misnomer. Many,
if not most homebuilt airplanes are classed by the FAA as
'experimental',
even popular kitplanes of proven design.

Even a certified factory aircraft may be reclassified as "experimental".
