Jon, You should read FAA Circular AC 20-27G as that is the FAA guidance for amateur built construction and licensing. They advise you to contact your local FSDO before you start to build. The reality is that most builders rarely contact the FAA until they are ready for their inspection. If you contact them early in the construction process, they will likely send you a number of FAA advisories and reference materials that you may find helpful.
I put together a web page for our EAA Chapter with links to all of the various papers and advisories you'll need for licensing your plane. <http://eaa691.org/Licensing%20your%20plane.html> Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Kimmel Sent: 04/24/12 05:33 AM To: kr...@mylist.net Speaking of the FAA...when should I contact them in the building process?
