Can you import a owner maint. plane from Canada to US?

How does this process work? Does it become an experimental plane, just like any other exp. plane?

Thanks for the tips!!!

Nope.
I can't even fly my OM into the US, let alone sell it there.
I don't see any diff between OM & EXP, but the FAA doesn't see the humor in downgrading your classification.

It is possible, but cost prohibitive, as every part needs to be inspected, so a teardown is required. Maybe someday they'll be more friendly/reasonable, but they're politicians ya know.

I heard this discussed at Oskosh this year at the Cub Club forum. The advice was don't and that the plane's status could not be changed.
I am by no means an expert, I just remember it being discussed.

Wow, really? I also don't see a huge difference between Exp amateur built and Owner maintained.

I thought there was some process by which it could be returned to normal status. Maybe I dreamed it.

OK--thanks for the info. I figured they would make it more difficult than it needs to be.
