I have to agree with Mark. The FAA, in an attempt to look good in the eys of the genral public, will for sure, impose new sanctions on Experimentals. We do not need it! If the spam cans do the job, leave it alone. The excitement of experimentals will catch the would be pilot later on.

I'm just telling you what I was told by one of my local chaper officers. I volunteered to fly Young Eagles and was told that there were plenty of guys flying them in spam cans, and that the "national office" discouraged the use of experimentals flying Young Eagles. Somebody pointed out that didn't make sense, considering EAA stands for "Experimental", but my guess is what they'd really hate to see would be an experimental plane killing a 12 year old on the Nightly News. Y'all can keep telling me what the official policy is, and you are absolutely correct....I'm just conveying what I was told. It may be the fabrication and opinion of one guy, but that's what I was told, and I don't fly Young Eagles as a result of it...
