The further I get into the registration process the  more I become afraid that I have taken a giant mis-step.  I have submitted  my initial registration paperwork as an Experimental-Light Sport Aircraft  instead of Experimental-Amateur Built.

  

 Is there anyone out there who has registered their  kit-built CH701 as E-LSA?

  

 If so - if you could communicate with me off-line I  would be very appreciative.  Everything I have been reading so far,  especially from the FAA, tends toward E-AB.  Including the continued  reference to AC 20-27F "Certification and Operation of Amateur-Built  Aircraft".

  

 Worried sick in Kansas City.

  

 Thanks,

As long as you can complete the registration process before the end  

of January next year, you should be able to register as E-LSA. You  

will be registering under the "fat ultralight" clause.



*************************************************

FAR 21.191



Experimental certificates.



Experimental certificates are issued for the following purposes:

..

(i) Operating light-sport aircraft.  Operating a light-sport aircraft  

that-

(1) Has not been issued a U.S. or foreign airworthiness certificate  

and does not meet the provisions of §103.1 of this chapter. An  

experimental certificate will not be issued under this paragraph for  

these aircraft after January 31, 2008;

..

*************************************************



The only downside to the E-LSA is that you will not automatically get  

a repairman certificate for your airplane just because you built it.  

You will have to attend a 16 hour LSA maintenance course to earn the  

Repairman Inspection rating which will authorize you to sign off the  

annual inspection on your plane.



Search through the list archives on this subject. It's been  

thoroughly discussed here before. Go to the EAA LSA website for more  

information. http://www.sportpilot.org/
