Hello Jim Ayers, You wrote:

{Response} That is correct.
Similarly only the term MANUFACTURER rather than BUILDER appears in many
other generic FAA forms that are used in the process of getting our
experimental amateur built aircraft through the FAA administrative wickets
of purchasing, registration, and certification. To wit:
Form 8050-2, AIRCRAFT BILL OF SALE
Form 8050-3, CERTIFICATE OF AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION
Form 8050-88, IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ASSIGNMENT AND REGISTRATION OF
AMATEUR-BUILT AIRCRAFT. (This form refers to the "bill of sale from
manufacturer of the kit" -- they mean the company that created the kit from
which the aircraft is built.)**
Form 8050-110, CONFIRMATION OF RESERVATION OF UNITED STATES REGISTRATION
NUMBER.
The use of these generic FAA forms in the process and the use of the term
MANUFACTURER in those generic forms and on the FAA web site does not make
the builder of an amateur built experimental aircraft into an approved
aircraft manufacturer in the eyes of the FAA.
This fact is made abundantly clear in the FAA Form 8130-7 SPECIAL
AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE for each individual experimental amateur built
aircraft when the MANUFACTURER block is filled with N/A (Not Applicable) and
the BUILDER block is filled with the builder's name by the FAA
Representative who fills out and signs the form.
'OC' Says: "The best investment we can make is the effort to gather and
understand knowledge."
**PS: Note that this same form number 8050-88 is use for a different FAA
form AFFIDAVIT OF OWNERSHIP FOR AMATEUR-BUILT AIRCRAFT which does use the
term "Builder's Name". I guess the FAA was running short of money and could
not afford different numbers for these two different forms.

Hi All,
I just checked the FAA records: William E. Boyd, Jr is the "manufacturer"
of a RV-6A.
There is no BUILDER block on the aircraft registration form. What did you
put on the 8050-1 form you sent to FAA Oklahoma City to register your air
craft? I think this is the first form the FAA sees for a new homebuilt.
