   I will need three original photos: front, side and rear views when I do your inspection.  They must be photos of your aircraft ready to inspect with N-nuimbers applied not drawings out of the manual.

Please read the "How to certify your Experimental Light Sport Aircraft" guide below.  There are very important things contained in those instructions.  

I have added information and help here to aid you  in the process of "N-Numbering" your ultralight trainer.  You may download the same checklist  I use for each class of aircraft  inspection and some of the forms you will need.  As time goes on I will add items.  The checklists will help you in preparing your aircraft only if you check each item.  If it is on the checklist I WILL be checking it, so don't think you don't have to have it.   If you have any questions feel free to call or email me at: cposer@comcast.net and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
