Hi all,
Has anyone here gone through the process of converting a certified aircraft into Experimental. What was the process like and how much paper-work was required? Is it a headache worth looking into.
There is a C-172 airframe I could possibly get a deal on. I don't have my A&P and don't feel like paying anyone to do the work. I know I could clean out the corrosion and get it ready for paint and rebuild.
I would just like to hear thoughts and opinions on going down this road. I am also looking at long term maintenance expense.

Thanks
