Hi all. I figured this might be the best spot to ask my question.
Background: I'm looking at purchasing a partially build Varieze (wings/aelerons/rudders done, Fuel cells enclosed). still needs instruments, interior, cowling, engine (which I have). The person selling it is doing so for his brother (deceased builder). His brother passed away over a year and a half ago. Consequently the seller has no documentation of the build.
My big question is; Is getting an airworthiness certificate signed off on even a possibility without dismantling everything that has already been built? The built parts look good but without pics of the build or documentation is this a path worth starting down???
I'll ask a DAR (Designated Airworthiness Representative) but just wanted to ask the Varieze community their thoughts. If I can figure out the airworthiness is taking on a half completed project something to embrace? Thanks in advance.
Bill
