It also said that they must receive my $5 before April 30 this year to keep the registration active. I decide to go ahead and pay it now. A few days later, I saw that my registration on the FAA database was updated but it now expires JAN 30, 2015. This means that if you renew your registration early you loose that time before the next renewal is due. It is not a big deal monetarily but it is stupid and wrong for them to do that. It appears that even if you wait until the last minute (2 months before expiration), you will still loose 2 months. Bottom line is that the 3 year renewal requirement is actually 2 yrs 10 months at the most.

I just changed my address on my Kolb with them almost two years ago so my registration should be good for another year but I just got my renewal notice also for 6/30/12. I don't want to wait till the last minute and forget but..... I wonder if we could send in the documentation and check dated April 30?

From: "c1jensen" Hi folks...sorry it took me so long to respond. Many of you have probably read the threads on the EAA Forums, but since many of you probably don't visit that forum, I wanted to say hi here. If you haven't heard of me or met me, let me do a quick intro...Chad Jensen, Manager of Communities and Homebuilders Community Manager at EAA. I'm a homebuilder. Built/flew/sold my RV-7, now building a Wittman Tailwind, and have plans for a Legal Eagle. I have a huge interest in light aircraft and ultralights, so I want you guys to know that you can call or email any time, and I will be more than happy to talk about and listen to your concerns. Many of you probably know Timm Bogenhagen here at EAA. He is our resident ultralight guy and is on the Ultralight Council. He and I talk all the time about the lighter side. We finally have representation at the senior leadership level too! Rod selected me to sit at the table to represent the divisions and councils. Something long overdue. Please shoot me an email, give me a call, or stop and say hi if we run in to one another at Oshkosh this summer! cjensen@eaa.org or 920-426-6806 -------- Chad Jensen EAA Homebuilders Community Manager EAA Technical Counselor Wittman Tailwind W10, ribs RV-7, built, flown, sold Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=364292#364292 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:48:07 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: FAA registration renewal From: "Thom Riddle" Rick, Don't know. My address did not change so I did the renewal on-line. The on-line renewal probably does this short-change act without human input and could probably be fixed with a little tweaking of their program. It will be interesting to see if the renewals done by USPS get the same short-change treatment or are handled by humans bright enough to know that a 3 year renewal period begins at the expiration of the prior one. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x32 Truth is what stands the test of experience. - Albert Einstein Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=364293#364293 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:05:55 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Kolbra video From: "Jason Omelchuck" How fast does your Kolbra cruise and what engine is on it?

As I've reported here before, the law of unintended consequences, or Murphy's Law, kicked in here and if you allow your registration to expire there is no way to register it again. The forms, most notably 8050-88A, have been revised and no longer have the grandfathering provision they had until January 31, 2008. Now the only ways to register an E-LSA, per FAR 21.191 i(2) and i(3) are to build an exact copy of a qualifying S-LSA (the i(2) provision) or demote an S-LSA to E-LSA (i(3)). Even if you get your registration period trimmed from 36 months to 34, that's only 28 cents to keep your aircraft from being an assembly of parts or a lawn ornament. As they say in Pat Ladd's country "penny wise and pound foolish". Rick Girard On Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 3:04 PM, olendorf wrote: > > I wouldn't go sending an post dated checks to the government.
