Still puzzled. "Experimental" for an RV10 or Lancair means that the owner has been involved in building 51% of the aircraft. For this the builder of a VH "Experimental" aircraft gets to maintain their aircraft. If some one buys a second hand Lancair or RV10 from overseas they cannot do the maintenance, however the aircraft is still home built Experimental.

Full marks to Sling for bringing out 4-seat aircraft but how can a factory sell a new 4-seat aircraft that is not Part 23 certified as home built experimental?
