Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Question

Hi Eric, The registered owner has to notify uncle Sam of the sale with the buyer's name and address, it doesn't go away because you remove the N numbers. You are required to notify them you have possesion and have to de-register the plane as sold, destroyed, etc and be able to furnish proof if requested or register it in your name. Be careful, you may very well be opening a can of worms, good luck, John.

Subject: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Question

 

I just bought a Quicksilver "ultralight", the owner had it registered experimental and it had an N-number. He did this because it was a little over-weight, the weight is the only thing that makes it non-part 103. My question is, do I legally have to notify the FAA and let them know I purchased this aircraft? I already took the data plate and N-numbers off of the plane as I plan to fly it as an ultralight. I just want to be sure that the previous owner is "off the hook" so to speak as being responsible for the plane.

Thanks,
Eric
