You didn't miss anything on the physics side. It's sound logic. It's the FAA that'll getcha (surprise!)
"An aircraft declared experimental is not bound." This is correct, but it is very difficult (bordering on impossible) to convert a certified aircraft to a usable experiential. Yes, you can move it to experimental R&D, but your operating limitations will be extremely restrictive. You can't get to experimental A-B without redesigning and rebuilding 51% of the aircraft. That's where all the homebuilts are.
