    Since the FAA has put a 3 year lifetime on registrations there is little likelihood that an old registration is still valid. You can try and good luck, but I doubt that you will find anything. Much will depend on what you call a rebuild and how much work you are doing. Did you get any of the old build records, pictures, or other documentation with the aircraft? Are you taking pictures and documenting all the work you are doing? Are you having an EAA advisor check your work as you go? All of these things could be combined to create a package to present to the FAA/DAR as validation that YOU are the builder and allow you to register it as your E-AB aircraft.

    While the registration (if it ever existed) has likely expired, with proof of ownership you could re-register & get a new N number. The bigger issue is whether there was ever an airworthiness certificate. If one was never issued, you *might* be able to convince a DAR or a FSDO rep that this is a 1st build, by you. To do that, you'd need a bill of sale trail, back to the original sale of the kit, unless you can convince the DAR you built everything yourself (he'd probably want to see a stack of receipts for tubing, steel, etc for the whole plane). If there was ever an A/W cert, the FAA has said that there can never be another issued (except for things like updating operating limitations, etc). An 'out' for all of the above might well be the Experimental Exhibition category. Even Certified planes can be moved to Exhibition category, for a variety of reasons. The biggest 'catch 22' of Exhibition used to be a 300 nm radius from the home airport for training/currency flights, but according to one of my neighbors who works for the local FSDO, that limitation has been removed.

    I've been told that "Exhibition category" used to, at least, restrict flying to trips only to & from airshows. Hope this isn't still in effect, but worth checking Russ K On Oct 22, 2014, at 1:02 PM, Charlie England wrote: > While the registration (if it ever existed) has likely expired, with proof of ownership you could re-register & get a new N number.

    I can't cite chapter and verse, but I read about the change several months ago, and asked my neighbor who's a FSDO enforcer. According to him, the FAA still requires notification of 'shows' the plane will attend (a paperwork exercise that can be done once at the beginning of each airshow season with a list of all the shows in the country), but there are no longer any restrictions on when/where/how often an exhibition category plane flies. I asked pointed and extensive questions to be sure that we were understanding each other, and he told me what I'm now telling you. (Yes, this is maybe the biggest Unknown Really Big Deal in aviation. :-) ) I had motive for the questions because I'm considering something with a previously factory cert. airframe that would be much more extreme than re-certifying a 'fat ultralite'.
