Colin
I am an Australian Ex-Pat living in Canada and am considering returning home
to Adelaide after 13 years in Canada. Can you help me re registration and
operation of my Kitfox in Australia.
Are there any issues that you are aware of that would present problems in
registering/operating a Model 4 under the Ultralight rules?
Please contact me off list if you can assist me algate(at)attglobal.net
Best regards

Gary,
Get on the Avid list at Yahoogroups.com and ask for Alan Aaron..........he just took his Avid back to Australia and can fill you in on the procedure and paperwork. I'm sure it was registered in California before he crated and shipped back....... aaaron(at)tvp.com.au I do believe this is his current email, but he monitors the Avid list if this won't work.

There are a number of option now available to you Gary. Its no longer a
single choice should you decide to register in an ultralight catagory. Do
some research on the Recreation Aviation Australia site to see which will
suit your needs. For instance the 19 catagory allows you to perform all work
on the aircraft yourself where as the 25 catagory wont. You may even want to
consider GA registration to allow you greater flexibility in the use of
primary airports. The rego is the easy bit and only takes a matter of 2
weeks. I would however suggest deregistering your plane while your there as
the paper work will be required for proof of degistration. It could take
some time if your corresponding from here to Canada, particularly if you
decide to go with GA rego and have to deal with CASA.

Hi Gary
I'll echo Graeme comments. Its easy to get the plane registered here.
The key thing is to deregister the plane in Canada/US. You can register
in Australia as either an UL or in VH (mine is VH ... But on reflection
I should have done UL to reduce maintenance compliance costs ... But I
was not the original builder).Check with SAAA for designated technical
officers who can lead you through it. I had Steve Dines in Sydney help
me. I had no problems with customs, etc at either end. I had to remove
the wings and tailplane to fit inside the container. Feel free to email
me privately if you want some specific help.
