Hello all. Searching for an answer for my situation...

I bought a partially completed kit from the original owner who registered it with the FAA with an N-Number.

Kit is unfinished, thus airworthiness was never applied for.

The kit is listed as "deregistered" with the FAA due to "expiration".


My question is -When I send the FAA my Bill of Sale, do I need to re-register this number, or am I ok to register the kit in the unforeseen future with a new n-number?

All the forms say/are implied for aircraft, so kind of confusing how a kit that was never airworthy applies.
