I'm still a long way from buying an engine, but I had a newbie question on the kit (experimental) engines.
They sound too good to be true: less cost, new components, improved engineering, etc. I also think it would be fun building the engine and learning.
But there's got to be a down side. Legally, how are they different from a certified engine? Does an experimental engine prevent night or IFR operation? Extra paperwork? Any other issues?
