Yeah I agree! I think your definition is the most suitable. Its such a commonly used term but makes no apparent sense! If it wasn't a "real" aeroplane how would it fly? Would it be like a fly with no wings and called a "walk"?
Maybe Raaus aircraft aren't "real" because they are "unreal" and fun to fly? Let's go with that.

I have held a PPL since 1975 and currently have a Basic Class 2 medical. I currently own a Bristell LSA which is registered with RaAus . My last BFR was in this aircraft with a GA instructor. I made enquiries the other day about flying into a Primary Control Zone and was advised by the CFI that I would need to be checked out in the School’s 172 and do a BFR in his aircraft before I could legally fly in controlled airspace. Is he correct?
Without looking at the rools, I would say yes. To fly a RAA aircraft into controlled airspace the pilot must have as a minimum, a CASA issued RPL with CTA endorsement and a current GA flight review. This flight review must be done in a registered aircraft. I think the CASA definition of a registered aircraft is one on the civil register.
The rules are asinine, recently I conducted a GA flight review for the owner of a “24” registered Jabiru 230 which is hungered at a Class D airport.. We couldn’t use this aircraft, instead, he hired a VH registered Jabiru 160 for the review.
