Assuming you built a new small aircraft. Let's say under 1000 lbs and under 24' span. What would keep you legally from flying it like a model airplane. There are model airplanes of that size now. The restrictions for flying model airplanes are sort of wishy washy. So let's say your plane was 1000lbs max gross weight but you could get it down to say 600 lbs and outfit it with model aircraft controls and some instrumentation to collect flight data for performance analysis.
Is there any chance that this could be legal?
