When I bought kits for my RV-6A, I paid the sales tax on them so that the state would not hunt me down later. When my airplane was finished, I filed for state for property taxes. Today, I proudly pay the property tax on my $25K RV every year. This year, it was $71.13. Since it's the cheapest property tax I pay, I'm not complaining too much. It used to be a lot more for other airplanes I've owned until the state greatly reduced the tax rate on aircraft. For me, it's cheaper to pay the tax than to incorporate in Delaware to avoid it. Besides, I rest easy knowing our state is spending my money wisely. :-) Jim Sears in KY RV-6A N198JS do not archive ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:08:43 AM PST US From: "glen matejcek" Subject: RV-List: RE: Lubrication for Rod End Bearings Hi Dave- As someone who's never used these products, it seems like the little 'pencil' oiler would be the way to go for lubing rod ends without lubing everything else nearby.

Bob, I wish that were so in Kentucky but it is not. There is not notification when you reserve an N number. However, upon registration, notification is sent to the resident state. In Kentucky it is then either a tangible or intangible taxable piece of property for property tax purposes. The sales tax issue applies whether you register, don't register if you bought the parts out of state, from an entity other than another person not doing business as, and didn't pay appropriate sales tax. They get you from several directions. I won't say again what my profession is other than I'm getting ready to get real busy and will be so up until just before Sun & Fun:-) With that said, I am waiting until after Jan. 1 to send in my registration. In Kentucky you have the ability to pay the "use" (sales tax) on your individual income tax return for the year in which bought the parts. I'll pay some sales tax then. The idea of property tax applies to what you had in your possession on Jan. 1, the previous year. So, by waiting post Jan. 1 2007, my property tax will not be assessed until Jan. 1 2008 and not due until the fall of 2009. I'd rather play with my money than have "them" play with it. Enough of tax ideas, leave that up to the CPA's.........oh, wait I am a........ Property tax. I am registering my airplane as a DO-2 (Dana Overall, second airplane). I am not desiring to get around paying property tax, however, if I register it as an RV, there is a huge data bank for the state to arbitrarily apply a value to my airplane. It could be more, less than what I think it is worth. By not giving them something to cross reference, I get to tell them for a change. No, they don't send someone out to look at it, even if they did, what are the chances they would have any idea what an RV airplane or a DO airplane was? Yes, you can get RV insurance on and airplane simply registered as a Double Throw Me Down-1, WOO HOO 7, Man This Thing Cost A Fortune 10 (oh wait, that one maybe not a good one for tax purposes).

It's going to be very interesting seeing how this plays out. It looks like your cooler is about 20% larger than mine, and is mounted similarly. I spent a lot of time trying to come up with a good diffuser for the cooler- time will tell if it is a pipe dream. Your CHT split is interesting. I'll be very curious to see if I have a similar situation, since I'm picking the cooler flow off the opposite side, also. Hi Dick- My cooler is the recommended 4 3/8 by 5 3/4 (post debacle) Positech. It is suspended from the engine mount, aircraft right, in a nearly horizontal position. It is fed by a moderately sexy diffuser that will be fed by a 4" scat off the plenum. I hope to fly it this spring. After all, it's only been 9 years, 5 jobs, 2 stretches of unemployment, and one degree since I started this project...

I suppose one could register it as a unique model rather than an RV. Then when you are contacted by the state you could say that you built it from planes and that you ordered the raw materials from Aircraft Spruce and show several thousand in receipts and pay tax on those. But if you registered it as an RV model, then all bets are off as they know the value.

Since no two RV7s are exactly alike, the best that can be said is they are based on the RV7 design, hence a unique name/designation is neither wrong nor deceitful. The insurance company is interested is what general design the aircraft conforms to, not what you call it. If you tell them it is an RV7 and when they inspect the wreck and find two engines, you may have a problem. There are simply too many variations and interations of even a common design, such as the RV7, to be meaningful for valuation and taxing purposes. That's why when you look in Barnstormers and see the same 'model' experimental aircraft, the prices that are still all over the lot. If they were the same, the price would be the same. Tax authorizes tend to use a blunt instrument to extract maximum revenue. If they over-reach, the appeal process will correct that. If they under-reach, well....Merry Christmas.

And trying to hide your RV > from the state as a one-of just because you registered it as a > Speed-Burner 1 could be construed as fraud. I don't see how. First off, the airplane is not an RV-10 ..... that's the designation given to a couple of boxes of parts. Call it a part number, if you will. When the factory cranks out a bunch of spam cans, they're as identical as they can make them. The collective WE that bought the boxes of parts cannot attain that goal, no matter how hard we try. Builders have produced homebuilt aircraft named after the builders ..... probably since the first one!!! > As for the insurance company they will want to know what it is > insuring.

But being the slick guy you are you tell the > insurance company it is and RV-(x) and they say - Heres Your Policy > have-a-nice-day. That's usually the way the conversation goes. The fraud here would be if you told them it was a 'safest airplane -1' to get the good rate for an airplane that had a good accident record. When you tried to collect and the claims adjuster looks at the wreckage or pictures of same and sees the difference. > NOW comes the potentially fun part.

The discrepancy is that the accident report should have covered a Speed-Burner 1, since that is what it's registered as and the accident investigator will get that from the airworthiness cert and registration that's carried in the airplane. Perusing the accidents last month did produce a few homebuilts, almost all with the owners last name and the A/C designator. > Ya sure you want to open that box of snakes vs paying a few dollars > to the state? Snakes??? That's a regulated commodity and you better have a license to transport snakes in your Speed-Burner 1!! :-P Linn And Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ......

Many have done the same here in Florida. I am wondering what happens if and when one sells that aircraft for its value, as completed. Does the tax organization get that information and compare it with the value as originally taxed? Perhaps someone has that information, a related comment or actual experience with that scenario. Regards and Merry Christmas. Richard Dudley dick martin wrote: > > Garry, > I llive in Wisconsin where we have a very aggressive tax bureau.
