UK SSDR

OK I have read the details of UK SSDR category. If you built a single seater under 115 kg empty weight, max empty weight 10 kg/sqm wingloading with a stall speed <35KTS it does not need to be inspected?? or seen/checked/examined by anyone from CAA?? But how does this work in real life? Shall I build the aircraft and send form CA1 to CAA to claim a G-XXXX reg? or what? How do they know the actual weight and the stall speed of the aircraft?


Can a technical and knowledgeable person comment on that please?


If you would like to know what sort of an aircraft I am planning to build, it is going to be a Woodstock glider (no engine). It fits in SSDR category. Low wing loading, stall speed and empty weight is less than 115 kg. But how shall I start? Yes I have got the plans.


Please comment on that.
