Let's also remember that "experimental" also includes really goofy stuff - auto gyros, heavy ultra lights, strange amphibs, weird wooden contraptions, GA test aircraft, war birds, etc.

 

Grayhawk

Please read the rest of the report. The fatal experimental accident rate is two to four times as great as the comparison GA certified aircraft fatal rate.
