As the title states, what's the best options out there for a 2 (could be 4, but I think the budget puts a hamper on that) place experimental with a lot of space for baggage? (Think broken down bicycle, ski tube, etc)
Top end of the budget $50k

Project or flying? If you are open to a project, it's hard to beat the glastar for your stated needs. You could easily finish a second hand kit and have a nice airplane for under fifty thousand. If you want one already flying for that you wouldn't find a very nice one. It would fit your criteria though.Todd
flying, or close to flying. Needing to be finished would work. I can't seem to find many specs on the glastar.

A Murphy Rebel is probably pretty high up there too. Very utilitarian airplane. I have checked out the Rebel when deciding what kit to build, and have helped build a Super Rebel, and they seem to be fine planes.

Are you looking for experimental because you want to build or are you looking to purchase a flying airplane? If you want to go flying I would recommend a Piper Pacer or TriPacer. Certified as 4 place but when you remove the back seat, which is designed to come out, you've got a 2 place with plenty of baggage easily accessed. You can buy nice examples under 30k.
BD-4's seem to fit the bill nicely. 3 place aircraft, plenty of space, especially if you take the seat out....not a bad choic.
Want an experimental to enjoy the more lax rules, save some $ vs certified and have a full blown EFIS for a reasonable cost. Not against finishing a project, or buying one flying. Already have a G35 Bonanza, so looking to down size a bit on cost, mx costs, and get an EFIS.Quote:
