 * Some insurances require your kit project to be registered as an airplane with the FAA, even if you just want to have a non-moving insurance. (Falcon does, Avemco does not need a registration)
-* The FAA form wants the serial number of the engine. Unsure if you can register without it (edits welcome!).
+* You need to enter details of the engine including the serial number.
 * Consider buying the EAA registration kit which includes cockpit / experimental stickers, FAA forms and instructions ([https://www.eaa.org/shop/product-detail?i=941&pi=926&pr=2583379 EAA Amateur-Built Certification Kit]).
-* You will need a formal bill of sale from Vans (different from the invoices for your kits). To obtain the bill of sale, email "registrations" at Vans. They will first send you a waiver to sign and a document request form to fill out. The process end-to-end will take 2 weeks since it goes vial snail mail. What you will receive is an original and a copy of the 8050-2 form. The N-number is left blank for you to fill in. The bill does not mention a kit, it looks as if they sold you an RV-10 at that date. The form has no field for a price.
+* You will need a formal "kit bill of sale" from Vans (different from the invoices for your kits). To obtain the bill of sale, email "registrations" at Vans. They will first send you a waiver to sign and a document request form to fill out. The process end-to-end will take 2 weeks since it goes via USPS. What you will receive is an original and a copy of the 8050-2 form ("Aircraft Bill of Sale" is modified to read "Kit Bill of Sale"). When you upload form 8050-2, don't use the bill of sale option, use the kit bill of sale option. The N-number is left blank for you to fill in. Don't forget to fill it in before uploading the bill of sale. The form has no field for a price. The online portal has a field for date and price for each upload.
 * You will need a filled out and notarized form 8050-88 (comes with the EAA kit). Plan for a visit to your nearest print-shop / notary.
 * Online Registration
-** The online aircraft registration web site is currently limited to 2-seaters, you won't get past that screen if you enter 4 seats. Hopefully this will be fixed soon (consider sending a complaint via [https://registry.faa.gov/aircraftemail/aircraftemail.aspx Contact the FAA Registration Department]).
+** You will have to create a CARES login with verified cell phone, email and Google "authenticator" app (also works on iPhone) ([https://myaccessxtl.faa.gov/ https://myaccessxtl.faa.gov/]). You need to keep using this account every 6 months or so, otherwise, the account will expire (you will get an email).

 ** The online registration page is at [https://cares.faa.gov/home Online Aircraft Registration Portal].
 * There are companies that walk your registration over to the FAA to expedite the registration for some $135, check [https://www.aictitle.com/services.html AIC Title]. As of March 2023 however, new aircraft registrations only take 2 weeks when mailed in anyway.
