I used the number from the plans, which is technically not a serial number, its a tracking number for how many sets of plans are out there.
As the FAA sees it, you are the manufacturer and you may decide what serial number to assign to your aircraft. I've looked at lots of data plates and have seen many "styles" of numbers.
If you use the plans number, it would make it easer to tie the aircraft back to the original plans purchaser in the data base.
And... if you're considering a S/N it must mean you are getting close to completion... GOOD LUCK and keep on chugging!!!
