## Excerpt from letter J Douglas Stewart

"With reference to the marking of U.S. X A/C, the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 14, Pars 1-19, has some very specific things to say about how our A/C must be marked, experimental and otherwise. Also, a civilian firm must apply for an Experimental Certificate on Form ACA-305 (Para. 1.74-1) ...

and 3-D drawings of the A/C.

As I'm sure you know ...

FAA's Control Systems Division in Oklahoma City. "
