Gentlemen:
Don't forget FAR 61.31(k)(iii)(B), from FAR/AIM 2005 (Changed since
last issuance). Here are the pertinent sections:
61.31 Type rating requirements, additional training, and authorization
requirements.
.....
(e) Additional training required for operating complex airplanes.
.....
(i) Additional training required for operating tailwheel airplanes.
.....
(k) Exceptions
.....
(2) The rating limitations of this section do not apply to--
.....
(iii) The holder of a pilot certificate when operating an aircraft
under the authority of--
.....
(B) An experimental certificate, unless the operation involves
carrying a passenger;
You had best check out this entire section from FAR/AIM 2005. But the
way I read it all, if you are not carrying a passenger, you do not need
the complex and tailwheel endorsements. If you ARE carrying a
passenger you DO need the complex and tailwheel endorsements.
I agree, that your insurance company will probably be the final
judgment in any case.
