Pietenpol-List: are some of us able to fly off less than 40 hrs?

This brings up a question that I've had for a long time...It's said thatwith a completely un tested airplane and engine design that you have to flyoff the minimum of 40 hours. Now if you're building a tried and truedesign ( Pietenpol Aircamper with A-65 and Sensinich prop) wouldn'tthere be a shorter fly off period? Is this up to the inspector? Do we bringit up? Do we challenge it?I've heard that it falls to the 20 hour mark.What's everyones theory on this?walt.
