What would you do if you could make any modification you wanted to a Cessna 175? Ragwood Refactory took an old 175 and added modern tech using off the shelf parts.
How do I make my Cessna Experimental!? I was always told that is not possible. I like Cessna's but I love the freedom and technology and cost of experimental. I want more info on this topic!
We looked into it with our Symphony. You have to lay out your plan and ideas for what you want to exhibit/show off in doing modifications outside the original TC, if you want the Experimental Exhibition status from the FSDO. You can't just say, "Hey, I want to mod my certified airplane, make it experimental." We were planning to do this, but then we got the opportunity to purchase a Zenith STOL CH-801-HD, but our plan was to schedule to fly into Oshkosh and some other airshows, come up with a possible business idea for selling, and promoting these mods, and then pitching it to our DAR (which happens to be the same one as is mentioned in this video.)
When they deleted the mileage radius from Exp exhibition category that changed a lot of problems. The only issue I can see is insurance for full coverage. Liability only was what I had on a modified factory Pitts. Cool airplane. Makes me miss my '55 C-180.
That's the spirit of aviation at work , very nice .

Experimental for the win!

see..everything dont have to say "aircraft"...for it to work.
how can you treat a certified plane as an experimental?
I've always loved straight tail Cessnas, great to see this one get a new lease on life! And experimental too boot!
1:27 that's an ATV headlight on the right.
Yup, gotta love experimentals, got something similar on my Sonex.
Beautiful
Getting rid of the dreadful GO-300 is the best mod that could be made to this a/c.
The GO-300 is only dreadful if you don't RTFM.
