kit built,experimental, ex military Australia

[as350nut]

Any body out there know what the rules are regarding flying/owning experimental, kit built or even ex military (warbird) helicopters. Perhaps answer related to the following areas;
VH registration
Type Certificate
Who can fly with you
Maintenance
Insurance

For example can I get a OH58 and fly around on VH rego in and out of all airports with the family (crew)
Can I get insurance for Exec 162 ( not that I want to)
What can I do under the warbird category can I bring in a ex military Gazelle and use it like I do my R44?
Thanks in advance

Forget Google just ask someone else?

There are a shed load of 58's getting around in Australia along with UH-1's.

Australia and New Zealand adopted the "military surplus" Restricted Category thing a while ago and it is unique. A little different to the US interpretation.

I think both NAA's actually regret it but that is another story.

Aussie angle is here AC 21.6(0)

Be very, very, careful and make sure your eyes are wide open. Nobody assumes liability for these aircraft.
