You could also do that (the VH Exp path). I did in the Jab and I can fly NVFR and IFR if I'm suitably equipped. If you're experimental in IFR you can actually request a path over a non-built up area and the controller will divert you accordingly. Don't think I've ever heard anyone ask for that but it is mentioned in the rules. I'm a little unsure myself of the rules regarding flight over built-up areas in VH experimental - must look that up again.

Flight over builtup area in experimental a/c is the same for RAA and VH. CASA or approved person see CAR262. Asking a couple of years ago there were requirements:

 

Engine - 912 or Jab, also certified lycosaurus etc OK. Single ignition no.

 

Aircraft - Savannah or Jab OK. (and presumably others)

 

Would want to see more than minimum hours flown off.

 

The rest appears to be a grey area on both the aircraft and engine ie your Brentc MK1 superbird might require quite a bit of engineering and flighttest data as would the dual ignition WRX motor. It's basically a matter of convincing cynical engineers.
