Since Canada does not have an LSA category, how can this plane be registered in this country? Normally, it would be done as a 51% Amateurbuilt, but as we know, that is on hold with the FAA right now.
And I know it can be done as a one-off AB here, just as in the US, but no guarantees on that one either. As I understand so far, you need to actually buy a kit first for them to evaluate, and the cost of that is extra, too.
There is also the 1232 lb Advanced Ultralight category, with similar rules to LSA, and it seems that it would qualify for that. But again, that is not available until Vans goes through the paperwork and qualifies it in that category. And I am not sure if there are any intentions for them with that.
Anyone else in Canada wanting to build an RV-12, and what options are you considering?
