Question about Experimental registration for Helicopters
Hello everyone I am looking for a suggestion regarding registering as experimental with a helicopter.
I'm looking at purchasing a MD530F and would like to install an auxiliary fuel tank that does not have an STC, as a result of that the Aux fuel tank people say its not FAA approved.
Yet I see MD Themselves fly their aircraft with all kinds of non FAA approved modifications like weapon wings and when I look up the registration the airframes are registered as "Experimental"
Here's a few of these aircraft with all kinds of modifications that can not be FAA approved as examples: N369FF and N106HX, I'd post the links but I'm not allowed too.
I wanted to ask if registering my 530F as experimental could be a possible work around to having non STC cleared things installed like the Aux Fuel tank?
Thanks in Advance.
