certificate for the aircraft in question you may perform the condition inspection
yourself. If you do not, you may have an A&P perform the condition inspection.
As far as the ELT, transponder, altimeter and static system checks, those
inspections must be performed as they are on normally certificated aircraft
because the regulations that govern them are found in Part 91—not Part 43.
Transponders, altimeters and static systems are required to be tested every 24
calendar months. ELTs are required to be inspected every 12 calendar months.
Some other important items you need to know:
14 CFR 91.319: Aircraft having experimental certificates: Operating

outside of an area assigned by the Administrator until it is shown that—
(1) The aircraft is controllable throughout its normal range of speeds and

(c) Unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator in special operating
limitations, no person may operate an aircraft that has an experimental
