I was wondering if its ok to train on aircraft that you own? I see no problems if the plane is Cessna or something similar, but what if it was kit-built, what kind of regulations would it be subject to, in order for you to do your training in it?
Thanks

Edit -- My bad.........I checked closer and you can use your homebuilt towards your PPL.

Training can be done in any certified aircraft, even home built or experimental aircraft. ( Many people train in homebuilts like RV-7's)
If you have an ultralight, training can be done towards an ultralight or recreational permit.
If you own any other type of aircraft like a cessna or a piper, you should have no problems training in it. Don't forget that you will need an aircraft certified for spins for commercial training and should see a spin while doing the private, so a few hours may need to be in a rented aircraft.

You can only count the training (dual and solo) towards your Rec only if you are already the holder of a pilot permit - ultralight. Also, 10 hours PIC can be counted towards your Private Licence.

I have instructed on many homebuilts. Most of them were quite new, and can be expected to have pretty much the same kinds of problems that new certified aircraft experience.
There are some much older homebuilts around (30 and even 40 years) and most of them have flown very little over many years, which creates a different set of problems, again no different from any certified aircraft which has been similarly neglected.
