Question on registration paperwork

#1 03-23-2005, 01:43 PM

I have searched the archives and have not found the answer to this.

Who is listed as the manufacturer on form 8050-1 ?

The "kit" bill of sale from Van's does not list a manufacturer just the
model number.

If I list myself as the manufacuturer on form 8050-1 do I also change the
kit bill of sale form?

I'm sure this has been asked many times but darn if I could find it in the
archives...

Thanks

I listed myself as the manufacturer and the number Van's assigns as kit number as the aircraft Serial #, and the model as Van's RV-7A.

As far as the 8050 is concerned, YOU are the manufacturer.
Remember however you list "manufacturer", it must be exactly the same on the registration, the aircraft data plate, and the 8130-6 (Airworthiness application).
The model and serial number number can be anything you want it to be.
Most people use Van's model and your builder number.
