    I'm sure someone will need it and you will get some money for it.

    As Kent said, put it on Barnstormers for free.

    Nothing wrong with the original wing, and many never permanently attach the tail (rear portion of the fuselage). This makes it compact for storage and easily transported on trailer when turned sideways.

    Do you have engine, canopy, or any hardware?

    I thought the idea was to mold the wing skin (and other parts) in one or two pieces and then pour/spray the "right" foam in there to create the current structure but with a perfect exterior finish and shape.  The molds are of course the problem, and the "right" foam can't balloon the skins while it's curing.

    Darkaero is molding wing skins and then bonding ribs inside.

    Another French company is making "cheap" carbon fiber planes with single piece molded wings that (I think) don't have any internal structure.

    Thanks Kent.

    The process you describe here seems to break down if the current owner is not the manufacturer.

    Or do a Make/Model search for Model "Dragonfly" which will return 323 Dragonfly entries with Manufacturer names, see pic below.  If the "Manufacturer" in the 3rd colum is an individual [builder/owner] like Bailey Robert E do an individual Name Inquiry for his name (use the same name format).   That will return the N-number for that owner which you can search for all the info.  If the 2nd column has highlighted info like NORTH CAROLINA - 1, click on that and it will show you N-number info.  If the Manufacturer is a commercial name like AVRO none of this works.  Yeah, easy right  😞

    Name search only returns current owners and N-numbers for me.

    Model search only returns manufacturers with no other useful info.

    When I do a Model search on FAA Registry, all it gives me is the manufacturer and nothing else that seems useful.

    Does anyone know the secret easy way to cross reference this with N-number, and/or current owner, and/or current address?

    I'm looking for Q2 or Dragonfly in New England.

    Thank you,

    You have already answered my question, so I think I'm just taking up valuable space on the interweb. But here we go...

    Why do I care:

    1. If my government is going to keep records, I at least want them to be correct. Otherwise, stop bothering and give the taxes back to me/us.

    2. I'm investigating this aircraft as a potential purchase and want to know why the record is incorrect and how to fix it. Wouldn't you want the records to be complete and correct before purchasing an aircraft?

    You say the registration is acceptable to the FAA. I guess it is, but why?

    The proof of incorrect/incomplete registration is in this ad. https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?category_level1=Piston+Helicopters&make=ROTORWAY&model=EXEC+162F&listing_id=2375298&s-type=aircraft

    The registration should look like that of N99TE. (except, not deregistered)

    Thanks again, Anthony

    No, it's not my plane.  And,  you are making my point.  It's not even a plane, it's a helicopter. 😤

    Because it's a kit, we know the engine manufacturer and the engine model. The model of the aircraft is named after the engine for goodness sake.

    We also know the manufacture year.  I'm at a loss as to how this could be "in order".

    If this is how the FAA rolls, then I guess I can write anything I want on the registration.

    N162NL is an example.  Not a gyroplane.  Don't know how this got soo screwed up.

    But, my question was generic regarding correcting FAA experimental aircraft registrations.

    Your info on engine changes makes sense.  I was wondering if there was a significant difference between a plans built aircraft and a kit built aircraft in terms of engine changes or other large deviations from the plans/kit.

     

    Thanks a lot Kent for gathering and sharing all of the information you do. I have learned a lot in the last 9 months.

    Hello all,

    I've been reading the related threads on here about the above questions and would like some more help if available.

    Short of contacting the FSDO, DAR, and local EAA, what are your opinions or suggestions on the following questions?

    1. Current experimental aircraft registration: Type incorrect, Manufacture date missing, Engine manufacturer incorrect, Engine model missing.

    How much of a pain is this going to be to correct? Is this something I should get corrected before buying? If I attempt this correction after purchase, what form/evidence will I need?

     

    2. If not referenced in the Operating Limitations for the aircraft, what am I going to have to do to change the engine (manufacturer and model) on a kit built experimental aircraft that I did not build?

     

    Thank you and happy 4th, Anthony
