Quickie builders can benefit. If it is not a good idea, we'll tell you
why, if you include a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Do keep us up to date on the progress of your project. Send us a
black and white snap shot of your airplane for publication in "The
Quickie Newsletter". Photos in the newsletter are particularly
beneficial if they are of an area of the airplane that's not clearly
shown with photos or sketches in the plans. Remember, the primary
purpose of "The Quickie Newsletter" is to support your airplane project.

If you are not a member of The Experimental Aircraft Association
(EAA), do join. This is the only organization who looks out for the
homebuilder as far as FAA regulations are concerned. Membership in your
local EAA can be extremely beneficial both in building your airplane and
in meeting people who share your interests. Their monthly publication,
"Sport Aviation" is worth the membership fee in itself.

EAA often publishes reports on builder's projects, so send them photos
and some words on your progress.

(see step #2)
Approximate date of starting construction

specific registration number (the number you will paint on the
tail). You can ask for all numbers, numbers followed by a single
letter, or numbers followed by two letters. They are preceded by
the letter "N". (For example, N77Q, N8490P, etc.). Be sure to give
them your second and third choice, in case the number you want is
already taken. Send $10 to reserve your special number to:
