They don't last long...
There is no "grace period" for having the paperwork
in-process. The
airworthiness certificate MUST be issued on or before 31 January
2008.
The regulations do not allow the airworthiness certificate to be
issued
after that date, so the entire process must be completed and the
owner
must have the airworthiness certificate in hand.

This is why LSA will become more and more popular. A
fuel line for a Kit Fox with a 582 Rotax cost about $20.00, top of
the line. The same fuel line TSO'ed for a general aviation
airplane would cost about $2040.00 with installation and an
inspection and sign off by a A&E. Make mine a Challenger. Jim, at
an erie place.
