If you are referring to the kr for sale on e-bay, the buyer should be able to register it Exper, amateur built, as you can't buy a factory built KR. The buyer should obtain proof from the seller showing it was amateur built, photos, receipts, etc. If you can't show proof that YOU are the builder then you can't apply for the mechanics license for that KR and will have to find an A&P to sign off the "annual condition inspection". I've heard of people trying to pass themselves off to the FAA as the builder and really got nailed to the wall for doing so. The buyer would still be able to do all his own maintenance throughout the year. And you're right, it probably won't qualify to be flown with a Sport Pilot license. I'm sure more knowledgable netters could speak to this situation. How about it Jeff Scott? Larry Flesner
