OK, so humour me. Yes, I know I'm probably mad to consider building an aircraft from a kit. Yes, I know it will depreciate in value. Yes, I know a lot of kit builds don't get finished. No, its not some trike powered by a clapped out VW. No, it won't be a Jabiru, I've already courted epoxy allergy building a sports boat last year. I'm trying to do some due diligence on one of these all metal LSA's.....

However I have a question. My understanding of CASA regulations, as interpreted from the RAA website, is that building an LSA aircraft from a kit (an "approved" kit) will result in your receiving an experimental C of A.
Reading a little further, it appears to say that flying an aircraft with an Experimental C of A over built up areas is prohibited without permission (presumably endorsed on the C of A) of CASA.
If this interpretation is correct, which I acknowledge it may not be, how difficult is it to get this permission from CASA? Is it freely given, or is it as rare as hens teeth? I know there is a vari eze at YMMB sometimes, so presumably it's not impossible.
..No response from RAA so I'm posting this here.
