21 year build time for a Rutan Defiant....sounds about right.

No flame...

The experimental market sounds great, but I'd never considered it until my insurance agent asked if I flew certified or experimental. I figured if they had a risk category for it, there must be something to that...was enough to cause me to steer clear. Are you saying that I should re-evaluate that?

The first thing that crossed my mind was his fuel bill...the second was he must have had a sore butt.
