Converting Certified to Experimental

[Racerx]

I have been dreaming of a Rotax powered twin-

Tecnam p2006t

Also, the Seneca doesn't have tapered wings.

Saw a guy who made a twin using a Vans RV as a starting point. Go for it, but be sure to post pics!

Must be talking about the Twin JAG. I met Jim & his wife Ginger at a Corvair college. Great folks. Here's an article about his plane:

Tube and fabric or metal? I know what the rules say and I know what’s done in the real world. Tube and fabric? It’s possible. Metal airplanes would be much more difficult.

I have been dreaming of a Rotax powered twin- is there a regulatory pathway to take say a twinkie fuslage, taper wings maybe from a Seneca or Saratoga, slap some Rotax 916s on there, maybe faired fixed gear and call it experimental?

Neat planes for sure. Sadly, you need so much money to buy one that if you bought one, you probably wont mind hiring an A&P for every squawk and paying a fortune for every exotic part it needs.

Ooh! I know! I'll just buy two so one can always be down for maintenance!

Talk to the guy with the LS V8-powered Cessna.
