Hi All,
I am planning on building a RV-10. I live in northern Italy, I have a US-PPL with IR, so I want to register the aircraft under a trust or a US-company in the US. I already have reserved a N-number (N-61GU). Form 8130-2F, Chapter 8 says, that it is possible to build an experimental aircraft outside the US. So far so good. The sticky thing about it, is, that the airworthiness certificate and final inspection can only be issued and performed by a DAR, and the problem is, that only a US-citizen can become a DAR......
So, before ordering my first kit and tools I would ask if someone knows a DAR who lives in Europe, or visits regularly Europe, or a DAR in the US, who would like to come to Italy (when I finish my aircraft in appr.four years). I just don't want to end in a dead end road with a lot of sheat metal, rivets, that looks like an airplane but can never be certified like it.
Regards,
Alex
