   Post on "Built from parts" in KitFox General Forum

   By Craig kennedy, posted 23 Feb 2022

   Does anyone have experience in selecting "Built from Parts" when they are rebuilding a previously built, certificated and deregistered airplane?  The DAR I happen to speak to said "It's already been built, certificated and destroyed.   An airplane only can be built once.  You have a wrecked airplane that needs a dataplate."  and that was the end of his response. I thought that's the reason I would select "built from parts" and make a new airplane from parts.  My question to him was about assistance in making sure what I was doing, would qualify for the 51% rule.  I have a Kitfox 2 with minimal damage, but I've got a list of modifications.  I've already stripped all the fabric and straightened the bent tubes but wanted to get a DAR onboard before I invested too much time or money.  If anyone has experience or success with this or knows who I could talk to for good incite, it would be greatly appreciated.  I'm itching to get this project underway and would love to revive this bird. Thanks, Craig
