I am filling out my AC Form 8050-88 "Affidavit for Ownership of Amateur-Built and Other Non-Type Certificated Aircraft." I need to choose between two check boxes, either that greater than 50% of the aircraft was built from "miscellaneous parts" or from "a kit (prefabricated parts)."
I bought my RV-8 as a partially completed kit--I am the third owner of the parts. Some major components were missing, so I ordered them from various non-Vans vendors. I think I could reasonably say that more than 50% of the airplane is from "miscellaneous parts."
Question: Is there any advantage to checking the box stating that the airplane was built from miscellaneous parts, rather than from a kit? If so, can I legitimately make this selection on the form? What has been the experience of other RV owners in a similar situation?
Thanks for the help!
