Might as well get the details from the FAA registry -

I believe it doesn't matter if it is EAB, registration rules in the US are the same, certified or not. See the last paragraph for the differences.

Smile Kay's First RV Ride

I posted some photos of Kay's first RV ride in a Picasa album of photos made at Moontown Airport near Huntsville, Alabama.

Hi Kay,

I am german and build an RV-7 in germany - how boring ;-)

One idea - did you think about registration in another european country, the Netherlands for example? I know of at least one german going that route (he's based in germany) because the certification process is a bit simpler than in germany. I'm not sure if they have any issues with the plane being built in the US, but if it works out you'll have an airplane with an european registration, that should make matters easier here.

Good luck,

Mario (Fuselage and finish kit should be on the water by the end of this week)

hey "danke danke" for your info. i hope that i don't need a green card. i work in an governmental program and for this they gave me an working visa. so i am a non-residential alien. maybe this works also.

lass uns mal direkt schreiben oder telefonieren, wuerde mich sehr interessieren... bis dann.

The H1B (or any other work visa) doesn't work for aircraft registration. I am here on an H1B too.

You can however own a US registered corporation that owns and registers the aircraft. You can even register it without 51% US ownership as long as you certify to the FAA every 6 months that the majority of the flights of the aircraft have been within the US. This should work well for the duration you are here.

This is what I plan to do....that is whenever I get around to actually pulling the trigger

How many times exactly the plane has to be "examined"? Just thinking that it might be much cheaper to give a airline ticket to the examiner to visit USA. Also are you sure that you'll finish the plane while being in States? If not, you probably end up doing flight testing in Germany -- does that change anything?

Good luck and keep riveting that empennage!
