    this is the facts .......... yes and no for canuks. You can register is a BULA - (basic ultralight ) and carry no passengers. AULA ( advanced Ultralight) require a letter of conformity from the manufacturer and that will likely be impossible to get . or register it a homebuilt but you might have to uncover if for the first inspection. If buying US plane you are better to buy one with 100 TT min in the log book and do an import inspection.. Plus it will be cheaper in the long run . for 16k you can likely get a 582 IV already flying or for 23 to 28 k a 912 model IV already flying. Dave Paul A.

    Deke, You are right about the controversy but this purchase should be no big deal. This is just an experimental amatuar built airplane. If your aim is to get the airplane then you should have no trouble in getting the airworthiness certificate. As mentioned ,projects often go thru many owners before completed and licensed. Annual condition checks would be signed off by an A&P (as mine is every year) If, however, your aim is to get the repairmans certificate that might be another story depending on how much completion you did and what qualifies.

    Hi Jim I bought a broken kitfox .I wounder if I could get your friends e-ma il so I could talk about the process. Thanks Benny From: thesupe@hotmail.com Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: KF IV for sale on eBay About 3 years ago=2C a flying buddy of mine bought an unfinished Avid Flyer A model. It had been covered and painted to the silver UV coats. No engi ne or instruments=2C ect=2C ect. No problem getting it registered as an ex perimental built=2C even though most of the paperwork had been lost from th e first owner.

From: fox5flyer@idealwifi.net Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: KF IV for sale on eBay This one should get a storm of responses. As I understand it=2C it doesn't matter who builds it so long as it is amateur built. There could be 5 peo ple working on it together=2C but only one of them can apply for the airwor thiness certificate or the repairman certificate.

Since the project is 90% complete=2C there is no way you can meet the FAA requirement of buildin g 51% for an experimental certificate=2C or an ESLA certificate. You would probably have to strip it down to the kit componets and rebuild the entire plane=2C probably not a whole lot of time to do the strip down=2C but you are not buying a plane with only 10% of work to get it flying.

    For importing into Canada Dave is correct. According to the Ministers Delegate Recreational Aviation (MDRA) It must have either 100 hr + AIR time (not just TT) or it goes back to the pre-cover inspection stage. Heres a link to the MDRA Websight. www.md-ra.com If anyone has experienced MDRA being lenient though I'd be interested because there are always great partially finished kits out there. (I've been researching this with MDRA after seeing a Nieuport 11 on Barnstormers which caught my eye) Cheers and all the best for the holidays!
