I am currently building a 7 but there are some questions I have about the rv build. I haven't done anything other than what the kit tells me to do but I keep hearing how you can pretty much do what you want since its experimental. How true is this? I know that you can't alter the structure to make it unsafe to fly but does an rv have to follow all the rules that apply to certified airplanes? Example, interiors, I learned that you can only have a certain type of fabric on the seats for fire protection. Can you just put anything on the seats of an experimental? Anybody have good explanation as to what you can do and where to find info on it? I hear of people making modifications to the planes but I'd be scared to try something because I'd think it would be red flagged by the FAA. I don't want to change anything on the airframe itself, just would like to get a little creative on dressing up the interior when I get to that point. Maybe try to make a center counsel with the throttle on it, instead of reaching for it. Thats just one thought. Any thought?
