First, let me say I am not disagreeing with anything Greg wrote. His stories and advice are extremely accurate. But let me add what I believe is a good suggestion.
The very best thing a person can do when faced with this problem is to join the EAA and go to them for help. For example: It is possible to remove the 300 mile limit on the Operating Limitations without changing anything else, if you go about doing it properly and know exactly what is legal and what is not. The FAA is very good at "interpreting" rules and regs in many different ways depending on the FISDO. Thus it is best to never ask the FAA *ANYTHING*. Do not ASK them to tell you how to do something. Know in advance and be prepared to tell *THEM*. Of course be polite and if the conversation starts going south, end it politely, then get your ducks in a row and call back with everything right in front of you for reference. And who will help you with all this? The Experimental Aircraft Association. If the FAA tells you some nonsense (and they can), just relay that to the EAA and they will quote you paragraph and verse, tell you where to find it, and if it gets REALLY bad, they will actually call their FAA friends in D.C., and have THEM pass the correct info to the particular FISDO. That is of course a last resort, but it is a POWERFUL resort should you need it.
I'm willing to take it on the chin if someone really disagrees, but I am going to go so far as to say that anyone with a Yak or CJ that is not a member of the EAA really needs to rethink his or her logic. This organization is there to support the exact kind of thing we all have spent a lot of money on and are basically in love with. They are ready and willing to help every one of us, and already have many times.
