Well, now that we’ve got that settled, can we move on to something less contentious like overhead breaks or non-standard patterns?��

That's what I do: I'm a Lancair LNC2. Many times they call me a Lance, but I'm faster than one of those

Glug, glug glug,....

That's the sound of 100LL being poured onto the campfire.

Soooooo, are overhead breaks OK at non-towered airport.

I was just thinking this thread is turning into a prime candidate for the "Never Ending Debate" section of the forum.

Well, we need to define "OK" for that discussion.

I use them all the time in my home private strip... in my overpowered 9A, with too much fuel, no steam backups, and parts of it dubiously primered. Somewhere in the fuel system I've almost certainly got some off-spec parts as well. Works fine for me, YMMV!

As long as you use?experimental? on your first radio transmission.

Wrong, again. I hope you're being facetious. There's no requirement for "experimental" in any radio call except to the first approach/tower contact and continued for clarity only if they repeat it.

But for rare instances, there's no statutory requirement for any radio transmission at a non-towered airport.

Jeeze, after 13 pages of back and forth, you'd think this point was settled.

3. Civil aircraft pilots should state the aircraft
type, model or manufacturer?s name, followed by the
digits/letters of the registration number. When the
aircraft manufacturer?s name or model is stated, the
prefix ?N? is dropped; e.g., Aztec Two Four Six Four
Alpha.
EXAMPLE−
1. Bonanza Six Five Five Golf.
2. Breezy Six One Three Romeo Experimental (omit
?Experimental? after initial contact).

It was settled - pages and pages ago. You are required to use the word "experimental" on your first call-up. After that it's not required.

Sorry, no. The reg says you are required to "Notify the control tower of the experimental nature of the aircraft..."

There's a difference, legally
