Form 8050-88 - Registering Kitfox

[klamberth27]

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.

Awesome! Thanks.

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.

Then your County Tax Assessor man will be notified and send you your bill. Maybe your fortunate and don't live in CA.

That's the way it used to be in Colorado also, but no longer. When I was building my Thorp T-18 (over 40 years ago), I registered it before it was complete and quickly received a letter from the state taxman. I wrote back and stated that it was being built from individual parts that I made myself, for the most part, and it wasn't a kit, which was true. I never heard another word from them.

For those that have submitted the scanned docs on the AWC portal....for the weight and balance......do you send in just the airplane weight and balance? Or include examples of loading scenarios as well?

Is it just this screen?

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.

Jerry, Did you get it registered finally!

[Jerrytex]

I did get it registered. One FAA person told me to do one thing, another FAA person sent it back and told me to undo what the first one told me to do and send it back. I had my registration card 5 days later. Waiting on the DAR inspection now.
