Experimental as in civilian aircraft that are registered "Experimental"...this usually includes light sport aircraft and things like that. Fictitious could count if it's a general aviation aircraft as well.

Way back on YSTK and YSP1, there used to be an "Aerobatics" forum that was pretty popular for a while. Maybe that could be re-established for such purposes. Just a suggestion though.

I'm thinking this might end up being moved to the Discussion section of Site Discussion, because it could be the stuff a general member proposal is made of. ;)

Let me know if you want to go that way.

Privately-owned 757s count as general aviation, don't they?

Technically speaking yes, since they are not used for scheduled commercial air transport.

Since Barracuz is the only opposition, I went ahead and put this to a vote for the staff. The results will come in 3 days. :)

Moving on, though, copied from mChat:

I see no need for minimums. Gliders, ultra-lights, etc., are all common, private aircraft.

I voted for... :(
I am an accountant working full-time (and some). I'm not here as often as I would like to be. Send a message if you need me. There are a few people in the community who can get in contact with me urgently if you need - don't be afraid to ask. I just don't check here as frequently as I used to. Sorry!
