Kevin and Corky,I agree that even an anticollision light is not needed. Merely nav lights.As 91.209 is the only part that applies to the experimental certificatedaircraft, its operator merely has to have the AC light(s) on if it (they) is(are) installed, subject to the vertigo caveat. Do you agree?This is a substantial thing to know about. It is like certifying thehomebuilt as an experimental motorglider so you don't need a medical....Does everybody know that you need to have only a private certificate orbetter in ANY category to fly ANY experimentally certificated aircraft e.g.you can fly any experimental balloon, rotorcraft, airplane, seaplane, andsingle or multiengine to boot with just a private glider rating (selfcertifying medical)? THe sport pilot NPRM contains proof in the FAA's ownwords of this loophole.Chris Bobka----- Original Message -----
