The amount of time it takes to build an experimental plane makes it sort of impractical. Easier to buy a factory-built plane, or to buy someone else's experimental plane from them. Kitplanes, Trade-a-Plane, etc. always have ads for someone selling a partially-completed kit or a completed plane ("Honey, it's theplane or me!").

Experimental only means that it was owner-built, not factory built. They usually have more up-to-date technology than the factory-builts.

Aren't there flight restrictions on experimentals -- like you can't fly them over densely populated areas (like cities and downtowns, etc.)
