[Kitfox Pilot]

This is the best online help aid that that I used for getting my AWC. It answers most of the how to questions.

Thanks Harlan! Congrats on your plane! Looks great!

I had an N number reserved and listed it box 1. I checked the N number look up site and it is assigned to me. I put it on all the forms that I sent to the FAA and I had no issues with it.

However, I have an early kit with no bill of sale. I sent the letter that kitfox has on their site along with all the PPWK to get the registration going and ran into some issues. The first examiner sent me a letter with a list of things he wanted added to "bill of sale" (which I did not have) I "complied" and sent it back in. I then I got a call from another examiner that said what the original examiner requested was wrong and she requested that I do what she stated in her letter which entailed crossing through some wording. Still waiting on that PPWK. Fingers crossed. I did find the FAA to be very helpful and felt like they wanted to help me get the PPWK right.

If you have the original bill of sale from kitfox, it would probably be easier get/find that missing transaction. If the the Serial # has ever been entered in to the FAA database, they might know more than you do on the history of the kit.

Thanks Harlan for the link to the AWC process. That definitely changed since the last time I got an AWC.

Thank you for the explanation. I can't use the Harlan link just yet. Have to get the registration done first per the article. So does everyone the kit passed through have to sign the bill of sale? That's def not going to happen. The original purchaser is out of New Orleans and his son said they don't have a mailbox, computer or cell phones. Just the landline and the father wouldn't get on the phone with me. The person I purchased it from no longer responds so its going to be difficult. I do have the original invoice and the bill of sale from the second seller so hopefully thats enough.

EAA sells a nice information packet that walks you thru the registration process. Tells you step by step what to do and not to do. I did this and sent my paperwork along with the letter Kitfox has on their site. Received the registration about ten days latter, no questions asked.

was your kit finished when you registered it? I have N number reserved but not sure at what stage I can have N number permanently assigned to my plane. I’m about 1/2 done with build.

Robert, I was nearing completion when I registered the airplane. Wanted it registered so I could have the DAR come as soon as I was done with the airplane.

The EAA manual says to register early because it may take some time to get it registered. Mine only took about 3 weeks, but to answer your question yes you can register your number anytime.

Jerry my dar wanted max forward and aft. I think its up to the dar what each wants. I would submit all and you are covered.
